Really nice tank! Do you run the seawater through a UV filter or just straight from the ocean?

 

[Tofke]

I don't think I have ever seen a reef tank set up with all of the live rock in one corner like that......it looks really good.

 

[Tofke]

it's just because the tank has only two visible sides
