First time, work in progress. Just want some feedback, this is one half of the tank. The tape is 2 inches wide, trying to stay away from the walls.

What do you think of it?

Looks good looks like it has lots of hiding spaces and the branch rock is a nice addition in the background

What do you think of it?

Better than my first or second attempt, not a rock pile and trying to keep depth and height in consideration as well as livestock habitat.

Here's a video, of a maybe complete scape. I incorporated a couple large rocks into it I couldn't bring myself to break.

 

[stoney7713]

And a few pictures

What livestock were you thinking

 

[Guynamedfish]

That looks amazing with the branch in the middle it looks really natural and nice

I think this is beautiful. I like to pre drill frag holes but that is a preference thing.

Thanks,
I'm not 100% set on anything, first saltwater tank, so I'm trying to make it easy on myself and looking at utilitarian fish. But I'm open to suggestions.

I try to stock fish that have a job and fill in with ones I really like and are for pop.
A foxface
is fantastic if the right size tank. It has a wide and diverse palet for algea.
Yellow corris wrasse for pest control.
6 line wrasse but can be very aggresive.
Bristle tooth tang for algea it wraps the rocks scrapping them clean
Tangs in general for algea picks at rocks
Sand sifting wrasse for sand (can bury coral in sand)
fish that Pop
Dwarf angels / large angel can pic at coral
Anthis
Clown and anemone
Watchman goby with pistol ( pistol will dig and throw sand)
Wrasse
Just some suggestions with a little pros and cons

Okay finished, I think. I have a couple large pieces sitting in the back for more habitat for inhabitants. Not sure if it's overkill though.

What do you all think?

Looks very symmetrical. Not a whole lot varying of height. Just my opinion.

I’d make 2 Bommies w one all branch rock on the top that would overhang the smaller one and offset so not centered. Just me.
