Corner Bow Experience? My new tank plans

So I in the process of closing on my new Apt in May :) 1st time homeowner, but that is besides the point. I am thinking of upgrading to a nice corner bow display tank. Does anyone have experience w/ this style of tank? Pros and Cons? The hope is that i can move in on May 14th, move some rock over and hopefully move some of the livestock over by May 31st. I know this is a short time to cycle, but hopefully it will be fast enough.
If my roommate keeps the apt I will have more time. I currently have 65 gal. Any thoughts its only 700 sq ft apt.
 
I don't have exp with a corner but I have read that the cabinet underneath is really hard to maneuver/place equipment in.

Congrats on the new home! My wife and I also are first time homeowners and I hate to say it but it's a big money pit! ;)

At least you're buying at the (hopeful) low end of the market. Good luck!
 
Thanks i heard this too... The money pit between house and tank. It'll be a rough couple of months :) Congrats on your house too.

If you're into photog, you'll be sorely disappointed in a bow. Difficult at best to get good shots in. Lighting can also be problematic as most fixtures are rectangles, in spite of the number of corner bows on the market.
 
i was thinking of hanging my 36 nova extreme pro. hmm interesting thing about the photos. I have a limited space trying to figure out what to do .
