A or B? 200g Aquascape with ravine

[drtechno]

Can't decide on which direction to head with this... I like the idea of a ravine in the tank, for the fish to cruise through, but I'm not sure if this doesn't feel to "massive" for this tank? Anyway here is a pick with and without the ravine. Not sure which is better. Feel free to rip the whole thing apart as I would value any criticism.

coral? if so what types?

Personally I like the second, because of the open space on the right

Ravine

Sorry, yea that would help
Mixed reef, but SPS dominant. I realize the ravine would limit flow in that area, so I guess it would be barren? I was thinking SPS up top and the lower flow/deeper areas would be some scattered LPS.

I forgot to try to post a video-

I like the first it will definitely give more depth to the scape, but agreed it will impede flow considerably if you don’t compensate for it.

B!

I prefer the second/lower picture personally

B. maybe give this a look.
right side archway. push it up higher the distance of the middle piece.
then take the middle piece and run it from the arch towards the front middle of the tank.
i like the pvc/tank. good idea.

Thanks for all the feedback so far! Much appreciated.. @sp1187 will definitely give that a try

got enough hiding/sleeping spots if you're adding fish?

 

[ReefHomieJon]

B looks better but you’ll need more height up too like A for SPS dominant

I think a s it is now, probably not. But when I super glue everything I can leave some caves and tunnels in the large formation. I like your idea, BTW. Just ran it in my imagination and it works

I like all the structure of the top one. If you went with the bottom one I would move the structure on the left a little more right, following the rule of thirds.

I'm favoring the second photo. Maybe a couple pieces branching out to the center???

 

[Weasel1960]

I like the first but would suggest to try turning the center structure one hour to th right and the right structures 2 or 3 Hours right. That might open left side a little more and still keep same amount of open space on the right. Give it a try if you don’t like it you can always go back....that’s the beauty of dry fitting first.

I Iike the second one and the negative space it offers.

 

[Reefing_addiction]

I like the second one BUT I like the idea someone else said put the big piece from the middle of a to the right and bridge with the arch!

 

[cbrack83]

I definitely like the first one better. I like the depth of it also. I feel like the second one is to simplistic for my like...
