    found a used 46 gallon bow front near my house, guy wants 200 for the tank, lighting, rena canister filter, stand, heater and powerhead with a prop mod on it...is that a good deal, and is it a good tank for a second reef tank...if so I may pic it up and turn the freshly upgraded nano into a quarantine/hospital tank...

    i would say it probably a good deal not a awesome one but a good one still. but i would lose the filter canisters are no good for reefs
    i may be bias as i prefer a regular aquarium to a bowfront.

    yeah, I personally like the shape of it, the size gallon wise was more a concern as to how good it would be...what setup would you suggest to replace the canister filter, I know what stuff is and kinda how to set it up but am not 100% on larger filter systems...
