Damn. I'd be all over it, but it's 2000mi away. I'm thinking of
bidding on it anyway, and eating the shipping.

They are pretty common in Europe with several manufacturers producing them.
Mine is a Vision 350 from Juwel
http://www.aqualifeuk.com/shop/3/119/145/215/ and the smooth curve doesn't
cause visual problems. The three foot reach to the rear corner is another
matter..........

Are these tanks rare? I usually see a couple of them waiting for a happy
owner in my local pet store ... not a big pet store at that. I'm in
Calgary, Canada. And I didn't notice distortion, either ... if anything,
these tanks allow a great view of your set up. I have been eyeing them for
quite some time 8)

My only concern with these tanks would be the close proximity to the walls
on either of the angled sides ... I suspect this would affect the water
temperature, especially in cold days ... and cold days in Canada are quite
frequent 8P

I have a 4' tank with curved class corners ('tho not a corner unit), and
yes, there is distortion at the corners, but it is not a problem really.
Everyone who sees it falls in love with it immediately. The absence of
corner posts more than compensates for the distortion. Thats my opinion and
all my visitors seem to agree most enthusiastically.

No, I decided against it. I looked into shipping, and Florida to
Oregon would have effectively tripled the price, even assuming I
wasn't outbid from that point.

Nice furniture, but personally I don't like fishtanks with rounded glass. It
gives a distorted view of the fish, and I wonder... would the fish also see
a distorted world outside the tank?
