Taking another perspective: Do you ever look at your aquarium from different points of view?

Taking another perspective: Do you ever look at your aquarium from different points of view?

“Never limit yourself to one point of view.” Those words are probably an Instagram caption and can also apply to looking a reef aquarium. While a front and center, full-tank view may be the most common, viewing the aquarium from different angles, distances, and even sides can help us to see things that we may not have otherwise been able to see. Whether it is just taking in the beauty of the tank and its inhabitants or check on the health of the livestock and the proper functioning of the aquarium system, changing viewpoints can be beneficial and enjoyable. Do you ever look at your aquarium from different points of view? If so, please let us know in the related discussion what your favorite “other view” of your tank is – maybe it is close-up, side view, or even top-down. Of course, we’d love to see pictures of that other perspective!

Not a day goes by without a full inspection. Front, left, right and top down. Not to mention a good look at the sump also.

 

[Reefer Matt]

Yes.

 

[Oiseaufeu]

I can look from above, the front and both sides. One side is very hard to look through though.

 

[shakacuz]

everyday. new angles of all sorts to get a good look at every inch of the tank. can’t ever be too safe

 

[dakoop]

Furniture and coraline limit me to front view only

 

[jabberwock]

I think if you can't look at it from three sides, you did it wrong. I also think you should be able to see it from multiple rooms.

My 15G tank is a panorama tank, which gives me a rather unique persepective from the angled panes.

 

[lapin]

Tank has 2 outward facing sides plus the top.

 

[PeterEde]

Mostly I look at it from the front then I change my POV to the side

 

[jabberwock]

Tank has 2 outward facing sides plus the top.

Can we see the top?

 

[lapin]

Can we see the top?

Not much to see. Too much reflection to get a picture down into the tank.

 

[jabberwock]

Not much to see. Too much reflection to get a picture down into the tank.

Masterpiece!

 

[Bob E]

I check front and side all the time. while sitting at computer I see left side. there are steps on the right side. I'll sit on step and watch. then front side I usually stand and watch

 

[exnisstech]

I also think you should be able to see it from multiple rooms.

Agreed

 

[jabberwock]
