upgrade! regular or bowfront

[pet-lover]

Hey guys,

I'm finally doing an upgrade form my 29G to something slightly larger.

They main idea of the upgrade is to incorporate a sump, where I can include an ATO system and phosban reactor.

As of this moment, The max dimensions I might be allowed to have (Mom's permission) is a 38G regular, (36lx12wx20h). However I might be able to push for a 46G Bowfront which is virtually the same with a peak width of 15.5"...

In your opinion, how is the "view" of the 46G bowfront. I know big bowfronts like the 200+ Gallon at J&L is not that distortive at all, however I have never seen a 46G bowfront in person with inhabitants. Secondly, does the centre brace become a hassle? I do only plan on having one central lighting system at the moment.

Thanks.
