    So I may not go with a quarter circle and instead go with a triangular corner. The reason is that this is going to go in close proximity to my reef and thus I need to match the stand I'm building for my 185 (see pics in this thread).

    Custom building a curved stand is going to be expensive. In contrast, a simple triangular stand is not. Glass cages has a 60 corner that looks like it would fit nicely. I know Glass Cages doesn't have a great reputation for quality, but since this is a secondary tank I'm thinking it would be ok (unless someone has an alternative to consider).

    EDIT: Tenecor has a 65g corner pentagonal that matches the height and front-to-back of my new 185g. I'm not usually an acrylic fan, but since this is a FOWLR add on to my main tank and will have limited live rock, I think the scratch risk is less. Thoughts on Tenecor and going with acrylic? The price would be about the same as Glass Cages.
