*looking at one of several of our fishtanks* It's looking good. :{)

Some suggestions... Fish tanks are not one solid piece. They're made of 5
sheets of glass (the kind that looks clear but has a green tint along the
edges). You need to show those green adges at the corners. Most large fish
tanks use an under-gravel filtration system which has towers rising up in
the back corners. Air bubbles rise up out of them fed from the air stones
inside the towers. This, along with possibly a waterfall filter, would
turbulate the water surface.

The lighting is good, but seems to be back in the far corner, rather than
stretching across the length of the tank.
