Nice tank. I recently bought my tank from a manufacturer called Tenecor. I'm very happy with it and I have to say i've received the best customer service you could ever expect from a company, especially since it's located in Arizona.

I wanted bent 90 degree corners, but ran into build difficulties. It would have required a 14 foot long piece of acrylic (mucho bucks!), and a large bend radius due the 1" thickness. While the bend is nice and easy to keep clean it makes for an optically distorted area you can't look through. So...this tends to work only to tanks of a certain size, or hex/octagonals where the bend radius is smaller.
