92 Corner-disadvantages?

[jt481]

I was thinking of getting a 92 RR corner tank . There are a number of disadvantages though imo including:

1. Curved glass is more difficult to clean with magnet.
2. Dimension is not ideal for fish to swim back and forth-less distance.
3. Looks best when snug in a corner so equipment cant be on the sides.
4. More difficult to have canopy-many manufactures dont make them.
5. Less space in cabinet for sumps and other equipment.

Despite all of this I just love them. Can anyone provide any feedback, difference of opinion? confirmation? How about photos?

Oh yeah, I would probably go with no canopy and a pendant light.

I just bought a 92 Oceanic corner after having a 180 for years. The inside is small and I am having a sump built. Haven`t set up the tank yet as I just resolved the stand issue. Got my money back. The only photo I have now is the crack which were several. Split the wood when installing screws at the factory.

If you buy the Oceanic stand look for cracks on the inside. I had to return my stand and get an All-Glass stand.

I use remote ballast with halide pendants and plan on using just one 400 watter. I can keep the temp down.

I disagree with 1 & 3. I have gone with the pendent on mine. And yes, there isn't a lot of room below but there is enough.
