2) fantastic aquascaping with just right balance of filled vs. open space that gives the illusion of infinite depth.

3) no over crowding or overgrown corals to give that cramped look.

4) a pleasing color balance.
IIRC, they have to use natural sea water to keep the carnations alive. The open, clean-ness and none over crowding aspect of this tank is second to none. A lot of tanks start out with a great aquascrape but overtime the shape is lost due to overgrown and eventually becomes a huge "coral wall" which destroy depth.

I am looking forward to your next tank.
