You know the rectangular ones, which is rounded on one side, the types that make nice room dividers.

Bad idea? Risk of bursting?

Probably not.

I'm not so much worried about someone knocking it, just whether it's "safe" containing water pressure, since it's effectively one massive bent piece of glass all the way round.

I've heard of a lot of the rounded corner ones bursting but not really the bullet ones. I imagine they may be prone to the same defects though. (made same way, same companies, etc)

This particular one is branded AquaH20, but looking at the design it seems to be exactly the same as the Jebo's I've seen.

Panorama Petshop always had one on show, maybe I'll just ask them about it's reliability.
