Custom Tank

[reefman]

I am thinking of building a custom tank because I would like a corner L shaped tank. What would be the best material to make this out of?

I googled L shaped aquariums and found that all of them are acrylic so that may be your best bet. If nothing just for the supporting information to be found on the web to help you design it. Are you looking to do a inside or outside corner. If inside I have seen some nice bowfronts that seem to work pretty well and are pretty standard at aquarium shops. The only problem is with the distortion you get looking through the bent acrylic.

doesn't have to be bent could just join then at the corner.Or a bow front

Thanks for the links, I am not sure yet on what I want. I am thinking of a little taller than normal to get more gallons out of it. Maybe a corner tank with a bowfront would be better than an L shaped

Thanks Lazylivin!  I don't have to do nearly so much research as I used to...but now I also am not learning so much either....
