I would say its because there is more light?

depth.

i agree it shows depth better there for more corals

[SDguy]

Yup...depth.

It makes it look like you have more corals. :)

If you want to see your tank through new eyes hold a mirror up and look at the reverse image.

I'm always amazed when I look down the side or down from above....it's refreshing to see things with a different perspective.

my favorite view of my tank is from the end with all the pumps off. then, you can frame the picture so you get all of the corals, the reflection of the corals in the glass and the reflection on the top surface. try it, you will be amazed at how cool it looks. :)

most people dont know how or due to tank size cant aquascape to allow proper placement and depth. that is why we're having our tank being built 24x36x24. an extra foot for depth in the aquascape.

btw nice stag, is that the lime in the sky piece?

That will be a nice tank, as for the stag I have had it called lime in the sky before , but when I got it it was very dark with blue tips it is getting much larger and better color now after 1 year.
