I like it overall. I would Dremel out that straight edge and open up that cave a bit more personally and then add in a thin tapering piece bottom left towards the corner for a little more depth. That’s what I’d do.

Looks good.

I would make it a bit taller with a bigger cave

I like that suggestion!

Do you think I should have mor rock or does the more minimalist vibe look better?

“Less is more”
I like somewhat minimal scapes/ more room for fish to swim

 

[Ben Weaver]

I changed it up a bit! What do you think of this?

make sure if your stacking rock that your either gluing it or pinning it. you dont want a snail or something knocking a rock into the glass then boom. i personally liked the first one. make sure you leave some space between it and the back wall for flow

Thanks for the suggestions!

Also think about what you are going to keep in there. With bare rock going higher might look nice, but if you are going to put a stag acro, for example, the livestock will eventually add the height. Or if you have a spot in mind for a torch, think about having an empty zone so you can see that beautiful 3"-5" extension waving around.

Thanks! Yeah i did end up lowering the rock to plan for coral placement!
