Good afternoon!

Looking for some opinions on L shaped tanks, I'll be getting some sort of corner tank soon, had it in my head to go for a Trigon 350, but after hearing some negativity about the footprint; have decided to get quotes on a custom build, 5 foot length, 3 foot on the short side.

Are these reliable structurally? Should be about 120g if I go through with it

This is basically what it will look like except bigger

I'm not sure I understand the point of a bent tank at any thing less than the realm of multi-thousanf gallon setups. What could a bent tank do for you that a rectangle of the same footprint couldn't?

Its the general room set-up, I think a regular rectangle would look daft, in the required setting.

Based on the general consensus, trigon footprint would be inferior to a similar volume L shape, obviously in regards to providing the best environment for the fish, I'd go for the tank with the best footprint.
