1400 maybe too much for this tank. A 1050 is probably the strongest you want to go.

or get a vortech mp10 or another type of adjustable powerhead (koralia and tunze have options as well but they are as or more expensive) if you want to upgrade.

stick to a normal rectangle or square tank vs bowfront. They are harder to light near the front due to their odd shape. Keep your eyes out in this forum or kijiji - literally hundreds of tank available at one given time. I am sure you can find what you like at a fraction of the cost of a new bowfront.
