80g Cylinder Tank
I'm a newbie and just starting a 80g acrylic cylinder tank. Does anyone have experience with cylinder tanks and if so is there anything in particular that i should know about them that is different from any other shape of tank. So far i have sand, live rock and hermits!

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.
