75 gallon aquascape feedback

[silent1mezzo]

Hey reefers! I'm putting together an aquascape for my new (to me) 75 gallon and I'd love some feedback. The idea is that the left side will be fairly low down, Hammer and Torches in the back, with a zoa garden in the front. On the right side I wanted to have more height for SPS and provide some more interesting swimming areas for larger fish. I also wanted there to be a lot of open area around the tank for a tomini tang.

What are your thoughts? How can I improve this?

Original plan, it's slightly changed since.

I like it you got spots for fish to hide and some solo spots for faster growing coral that can over take easily

I like the structure on the left. The one on the right looks a bit weird to me.

I like the one on the right more then the little one on the left I feel if op can make the one on the right look like that then they could maybe make the left one a little more then stacking rocks op’s got creativity they can do something more I don’t I stack rocks that barley hold lol

I think you need more rock in your scape...

Looks good. It follows the rule of thirds and the golden ratio

I like it and there is a lot of room on the bottom that would allow you to add islands later if you wanted.

If you are stocking acro and torches, they like flow. You may want to rethink that fine sand.

I'm going to be using the special grade from caribsea. From what I can tell most people say it's fine.

Ya, in the middle will be an island of GSP and an acan colony.

Here are the top downs of both.

This. The rocks on the right look like its gonna fall apart.

Interesting, any suggestions on where I could place it? Trying to balance swimming space with room for coral.

Just don’t forget hiding spots for fish. Which is the most important.

I'd add more rock. Each fish should be able to hide and not be seen if they want, and have a place to sleep in the rocks. Think habitat instead of aqua scape.

 

[Waters]

I personally would place a larger rock in the front of the arch on the right to create some additional hiding (and make the arch look less artificial). I would also slightly increase the height of both (keeping the left side lower like you have it).

Agreed!

 

[silent1mezzo]

I raised up the left side so fish can swim underneath now. The right side will get some additional rocks from the existing tank

 

[Shibaken3]

like the left. the right looks a bit flimsy

 

[silent1mezzo]

Changed things up a bit and want people's opinions. Thoughts?

Option 1

Option 2

Option 3

 

[Shibaken3]

option 3 & 2 looks nice
