Aquascape suggestion needed

[mechramc]

So i have a 15g nano and I am not able to decide how to get a good aquascape that allows for multiple coral types without it all becoming a mess to look at. I have this single arch so far and I have a couple more live rock pieces that I can add in but jot sure where. Any suggestions?

Try making 2 "islands" & build more up?

it looks like you’re just starting the cycling process. If this is the case I might suggest making the aquascape outside the tank. I’d recommend breaking up your rocks and glue together multiple small pieces together. It’s much easier to create negative space.you can mimic your tank via cardboard box . Just a thought

This is what I did for my tank; I went through multiple designs until I finally found one that I was pleased with.

I agree! Maybe a little arch action, too?

The difficult yet enjoyable research aspect is predicting coral placements and future growth with respect to tank flow and lighting. Perhaps try and create multiple gentle slopes where you can put high light corals on top leaving room for lower light lps etc. good luck

Thank you all for the replies - I will try to make it higher. I was thinking of getting another arch like that and making it as left and right halves of one big arch, but that will leave one big hole in the middle of the tank. I probably will have to break it and make a different style as suggested. Will all these aquascaping changes in the middle of cycling disturb the process?
