My parents had an old version of one when I was a kid. Not easy to take photos of fish due to the curved glass, if you are into that.

Cleaning is fine, slight distorted view but not too bad compared to looking into a curved cornered standard shaped tank.

No idea, I'm not very good at cleaning glass. Once every 6 months or so :rofl:

I've got a Trigon.
I clean the glass with a family of breeding BNs now......I did use a magnetic cleaner (it's still in the tank), but you have to be very careful not to get grains of sand in it as it scratches the glass.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!

All Juwel aquariums are very good.

One 'pro' point I will give, is that whenever I've seen a planted corner aquarium, the equipment is always very easy to hide.

The only possible 'con' that I can think of, is depending where or how the aquarium is in situ is access to the very back of the aquarium. If the back of Trigon aquarium is against or near two walls, it may prove problematic if you need to change or feed new cables, pipes for a new appliance. Probably best to stick to the excellent Juwel Bio filter rather than using an third party external filter.
WARNING - DO NOT BREED, FEED OR PET THE PUDDLE! :dodgy2:
