I just bought a 72 gallon bow front and will begin to set it up tonight. I was hoping to see some pictures how how you guys have set it up in the hopes of getting some good ideas.

Thanks,

Josh

I also would like to see how people aquascaped in their bowfronts.

My first tank was a 72 bow. Not terribly creative with the aquascape back then. Kinda fell into the "wall-o-rock" category.

Well here is a picture of my 72 gallon bow front that I took today. It's still pretty empty since it's been up 5 weeks. Just added the start of my CUC yesterday. Let me know what you think.

WOW that is a good start. i look forward to seeing your progress. hey would you be willing to take a close up of the front corner seam on the outside where the bow glass meets the side glass, my tank has a wierd seem there and dont know if it is normal or falling apart.

here is my 72 bow.

And that was before the crash. Now 80% of the corals are dead. i will be restocking with the same or similar corals.

I managed to save the crocea and teardrom maxima clams, the RBTA, the condi anemone, the GSP, the Orange Milli, The Orange Cap, The Torch, The galaxia, the pipe organ, the palys and zoas, the green encruster, the frogspawn, green slimer, and a couple acros, and all riccordea and shrooms

But ended up losing 1 skunk cleaner, green bird, pink bird, oregon tort, california tort, large green acro, large blue acro, large blue tip acro, well...and many other corals, but those are the important ones.
