    Standard. I get nauseous trying to look through a bowfront. I haven't met a bowfront that doesn't. Pictures can be quite difficult as well.

    I'm with Renee here...unless you like the "bowfront effect", which distorts the view of the interior of the tank, go with a standard type setup.

    If you like the basic shape of a bowfront, you can get a flat-back hex, which has flat viewing panels, and thus, no distortion.
