Any large bowfront tanks set up for me to view

thinking about upgrading to gambitcobra's 155 bow, awesome looking set up, does anyone semi local have a fairly large one running to see how much the bow distorts things, have seen some in past, just not this large.

Very little distortion. There is one set up at my LFS. I also had one for a short time that I had to give up to move house. I think they are one of my favorite tanks.

I'd say any distortion is so minimal that it's not noticeable. If it was very noticeable, nobody would have one.

If you get real close to it, like 2" then you can see the curvature of the glass effects the look but normal viewing is very pleasing. I wish I had mine back!!
