You are very lucky to have that type of tank, I've always loved them but can't afford one.....yet.
I used to have a 54 gallon corner tank which is also a pretty ood shape. my biggest issues with it were getting the flow right and lighting. I think you should should have an easier time with lighting for a cylinder shaped tank than my old pie shaped tank. Any 24" light should fit over it. I would put a MH/T5 combo over that tank if it were mine. As far as flow goes, good luck! Right off the bat I'm thinking a closed loop through the bottom would work well. Do you know if the tank bottom is tempered? Do you have an overflow.

Yes...it's a center overflow with sump and filter in a cabinet underneath.

The obvious answer is to get the flow going clockwise for a while...then have it reverse and go counter-clockwise for a while...then...
That's what I did with my hex tank and it worked well. I used a SQWD, but you would probably want more control over the timing of the flow reversal than a SQWD offers.
