What to do with my 92g Bowfront
I got this for $200 - full SW reef setup, sump/skimmer/pump included. Even RO/ DI!! Needs better lights, probably a CLS/powerheads, LR, etc. But what do YOU think I should do with it?

I agree, that tank begs to be a reef. Although Glitch's 92 corner made one heck of an impressive planted tank.

Yes, it does beg to be a reef. Right now $ is the biggest problem, but from everything I've read that if you do it properly, it takes a long time to get a new reef tank properly established and stocked, so that expense would be spread out over some time.
Still, I think it would look great as a heavily planted discus tank. Plus our oldest daughter originally wanted Discus in my 55g, and still does. However, I do have a 37 ramping up as well....Multiple Tank Syndrome anyone???

I agree with the others, go reef. You may have some trouble trying to light it up evenly though.

Just use the sides as a side of a rock pile. Just center the light and coral to the middle.

My 2 cents on what i would do. I think it would look nice as a reef, but i do think that it would be a nice planted tank. I would turn it into either. Now from what i am hearing from you it sounds like IMO you should do the discus tank. It sound like to me you want that under it all, less money and would please the family. Just thought i would add that in.

Definitely do not sell that tank. It is beautiful with so much potential. I voted saltwater reef on your poll.
