Thanks Jon. Pretty much what I had figured. Otherwise, lots of guys would
have big magnifying lenses on their front ports. As I said, the port in the
aquarium looks neat to the average tourist, but really distorts the view into
the tank.
Another question, I want to put a '' V '' shape plexi cover in front of my
main ( front ) port, to deflect water while at the surface and moving.
There will be water between the '' V '' and the flat port when
submerged.
I'm hoping that looking through the sides of the ''V'' at an angle
won't distort the view, like looking through a window from the side at a 45
degree angle. This may also offer some protection from scratches on the main
port. The two halves would need to be easily removable for cleaning the
port and inside of the ''V''.
Either way, it doesn't affect the design of the front ballast tank to which
it would be attached.
