I have a feeling that I wont attract any reefers, the majority of reefers seem to be the working man or woman that has bills to pay and more bills to pay. The typical client of mine has little to no knowledge of aquariums or their inhabitants, and silly amounts of money to throw around. They see something nice and say, "Ill take one please, can I have it tomorrow, and can you feed the fishies and thingies? Its a different mentality, they appreciate the beauty, but dont care to know how it all works. There are "reefers" with money, but the majority try to keep things a little less than ridiculous. Well from the comments Ive heard, Ill be building them geared towards the showy side of things at 32" tall.

That makes more sense. Good luck with the project! Seriously, if I was filthy rich I'd buy one and hire someone to clean and feed it every day. A crazy nice house or business just wouldn't be the same with a plain old rectangle fish tank. Personally though, I like the half cylinder style better. You could actually make a reef out of it.

yea but the magnet is flat and the tank is round so the contact between the pad and te tank is reduce a lot. I have heard they are a pain to clean but never try it

cylinder aquariums
Is it the cylinder that makes the whole idea very exspensive?,because i have dual archways entering into one of my dens and would love to put a cylinder tank in each of the pillars,but sounds like just too much money.
 well,i still like your idea,good luck.

Yes the magnet is flat and the tank is curved but when you stack a whole bunch of acrylic cleaning pads on the inside magnet they follow the curve of the tank, the magnets are very strong so they clean very very well, they are actually hard to move because they are so strong.
yes it is because of the cylindrical tube that the tanks are so expensive, each tube comes out of a huge tool mold thats about 12" long, they are cast cell acrylic, and very expensive. I woyuld guess that the high cost is a result of trying to recover monies fromthe very very expensive mold that are used to make the tube.
