Very nice and clean looking set up. It is beautiful, so I hope you don't take ofense to my questions.
You said the tank isn't drilled, so all the equipment is on the one end. Do you have powerheads at the other end to move the water back to the end where the equipment is, (maybe I couldn't see them) but in my opinion if there is nothing moving the water from end to end you will basically only filter the water on one end of the tank.
Second question, is that achor real. it sure looks real. or a very nice replica. I hope that it isn't real. putting any metal in your tank is a no no.
And lastly, Your tank doesn't have much live rock in it. Do you have a sump? Is that where you are keeping the rest of your live rock, if so that would work. If not. you will need a lot more rock in your system.
Like I said I looks very good. I just wanted to let you know you may have problems down the road, if my eyes are seeing right. But if I am wrong, I am very sorry, and enjoy your beautiful tank.

Like I said before, It is a very beautify tank, very eligantly done. If you could put a sump under the tank, and use an overflow box since your tank isn't drilled, you could put your rock down there and keep the nice clean lines your tank currently has. A sump with a protien skimmer and a 100pounds of live rock can do more than 4 canisters ever could.
