Some of you may remember this scape.

This was the first aquascape iteration with a barebottom tank. I liked the arch it provided. But my criticism is how centered it felt.

Then I rescaped and came up with this.

I added another large (by nano tank standards) piece of dry rock. This scape opened the tank up. But I still wasn't satisfied. The right side was shaded limiting my with coral placement. There was no centered issue so I was getting on the right track.

I upgraded tank sizes to a 20L and played around with aquascaping. Wish I took a picture of the originial scape for the 20L. It was open But I wasn't satisified. So I went to this aquascaping thread on Reef2reef to refresh my memory. Then I googled some reef aquascapes and found this one for inspiration.

Here is the finished result.

I plan to fill out the tank with sps. I'm going to be trading with some people around and see if they would like trumpets or whatever frag I have for some sps :) Maybe some reefers can trade here. :) I'm going to be doing a update 4 times a year if anyone is interested.
 
It looks good to me. It sounds like you like it so you are off to a good start! I look forward to seeing the tank fill up and mature!
 
Your scape looks great!
