My bow-fronted aquariums look much larger than the flat ones due to the
magnification a curve provides. They also look so much cooler :p

I wonder if you could just purchase a sheet of glass, and take it to a
local glassblower, have them heat it up and let it melt into shape over a
form of some sort?
I will try the original screen method first:

Actually, they contain a vacuum.
Or rather, they don't contain anything...;o)

Actually, they contain a vacuum. You could release the vacuum by carefully breaking
the glass nipple below the pins at the end of the tube. Wear protective clothing, face

Ah, thats ok then.

experience I have, then it gets a bit boring with the "be careful"
comments, BUT (!) I can see your point of view too! :o)
