What are the dimensions? I have (2) 450G bow fronts that I had made. Probably close to the same dimensions. My only complaint is that it is very difficult to get to the bottom front edge to clean. I think mine are either 32" or 34" high.

Hi:
Yes, bu i'm not sure who the manufacturer was.
A aquarium maintence firm in town has a 500 bowfront as a FO display tank. The tank is 8 or 10ft long and the deep part where the bow is 3-4ft. Interesting looking tank.

Yeah Aquarium Center in MD has one and last time I checked the seal on the front glass lost its integrity and the tank was leaking so they had a brace over it.

One LFS here in Dallas has an Oceanic 550 for sale that is a double bowfront. It's really cool--would make a great room divider. I think the tank with custom stand is about $12,000 if I remember correctly.

It is my understanding that in addition to the "standard" tanks that Oceanic sells, it also sells non-standard tanks in a range of shapes and sizes (including large single or double bow fronts). These really are not true custome tanks since that make these on a regular basis. Your LFS that sells Oceanic should have a book that lists the tanks that are available on a by order basis.

We have said book. They're called "pre-engineered custom tanks". It includes the 8 ft long double bow front. I'll check the price when I get to the store...
