    LFS has brand new bowfront for $231. The actually wanted $281 but priced marked it incorrectly.

    I notcied the bowed plate however to be of alignment, probably 1/8' of center also the silicone looked somwhat sloppy. LFS owner said it was barely noticable. (Definelty giving off the vibe that I was nit-picking)
    In all honest 70% people might not have noticed it or even been able to over look it. At first I thought he was going to tell me to get lost afterall it was marked wrong anyway but he said he would see if the Manufacturer (Aqueon) would exchange it for another new one and if the would he would let me have it for $231.

    My question to you Bowfront owners is this...Is $231 a good deal? great Deal? or just average? I did indeed think the 72's where worth over $300 but I could be wrong. So would you buy it for $231? and also if the manufacturer will not exchange or if LFS doesnt want to pay any fees associated with shipping exchange would you still buy the original one with mis aligned glass. As I stated, it is very very minimal and im not sure quite honestly that it may be how most of these tanks are made but even with almost undectible notice (unless you feel for it with your hand) i still notice but if its a deal I could overlook.

    I just saw a 36 gallon bow front from them priced at $175...so yeah, I would say that's a good deal.
