Welcome!

That scape looks fine. There's potential there

hi.
welcome to the show.
when doing a scape you have 3 directions to work.
up/down, side/side/ front/back.
most people work up/down & side/side but not front/back.
front/ back gives you depth perception.

coral selection plays a role.

hiding equipment, if you choose to, plays a role.

my suggestion do a google search aquascapes for some ideas.

check this thread out and watch the video.

also, for safety of the tank, don't work in the tank. get a table you can put blue paint tape down to represent the bottom of the tank and some card board to represent the back.

Yes thank you.. we did do a mock trial outside the tank but this tank has a middle bar across the top so couldnt just drop it straight down into the tank
