hmm, that is weird about the SW tanks, both are very nice looking and obviously very well kept tanks. if i had to guess id say the neon blue-green color pattern along with the little dots of orange and red of #3 makes it eye catching.

either way #1 took my vote

Addicted2fish,

I am only speaking for myself here, but I think that the appeal in #3 is the shape and texture of the different corals, as well as the arrangement. The eye rather naturally is guided from one side of the tank to the other, and the clown fish create a bright point of interest just off centre to the right, making it interesting photo.

#6 is no doubt a lovely well established tank with a variety of shapes and colours. There is no distinct point of interest in this photo. The wall like arrangement is likely beautiful and impressive when looking at the life in the tank, but as a single snapshot the eye is drawn to nothing in particular. As well, it is slightly out of focus. I think that this is perhaps one of the reasons why #3 is garnering more votes than #6, but again, it's only my opinion.
