I have a half circle tank. I emailed Tunze and asked that very question. They replied thanking me for the interest but adviced me NOt to but this product. They explained that they have no experiences with curved glass and thought that it would not work properly or possibly not at all.

I've seen waveboxes work fine on bowfronts. Not sure about corner tanks..

With curved glass the wave would follow the glass and not return to its point of origin = no wave. It wouldn't make sense to put one in a tank with curved glass since it needs the flat pane to bounce off of.

But mines like a 1/4 of a pie. So, from one Radii pane, across the front, and bounce off the other pane, back across the front.. Hmm I dunno. Alot of $$$ to spend to find out it doesnt work well. maybe one day I'll spring for a MP20
