Added a shelf for my uv sterilizer. I don't really use it but it's ready to go if I want it. And got the small carbon reactor hooked up, i also don't really use it but I guess you never know. And decided to add one more tee and gate valve to the manifold

Really beautiful!

What, in your opinion, are the best and worst things about such a shallow tank?

I'd say cleaning is the best. Maybe lighting is also a plus because you don't have to light such a deep tank. There aren't really a lot of bad things other than just a lack of room up and down for the fish to swim but that's why I went 8' so they had plenty of horizontal swimming space. I also like the sleek look of them!
