What's with all the top down pictures?

I prefer top down also. Gives a better representation of the true color. And I have a viewer and a step ladder for in home viewing Although, I find most of my pieces look the same through the front glass, as I'm kinda looking down on them anyway.

I just prefer quality stock, don't really care how it's shown as long as it's shown accurate. I have corals angled towards the front on my tank to view better (lobo's brains etc.) After looking a billion and a half pics on the internet I can tell fairly close how it will look dimensionally when it arrives...lol

Well it all stems down to ones own preference.
We all try to create a piece of living art in our homes. Some like to look down on it and some directly at at. I guess that's off topic though from OP

Im pretty sure its because most frag tanks that are meant for making frags and selling are lower and not too tall as it is just easier and more efficient to work with. No one will intentionally make a fragtank thats 30" tall.
