Aquascape

I feel like my aquascape is 2-D and boring. What do you guys think? Any ideas?

I personally like it, maybe spread it out more across the tank?

Im wondering if I should put rock on the far right and left side to cover the empty sand bed,

If it were me, I'd try and put the largest pieces at the bottom. From there stack the smaller pieces and use epoxy to connect them or drill out rocks and use acrylic rod between them to create some overhangs and arches maybe. Here is an example of 2 rocks I connected by drilling and then inserting acrylic rod (the 2 rocks where the top one touches the back of tank)

dont be afraid to take a hammer and chisel and bust up the rocks then glue back together. like this:

Maybe a little height on the right, but it looks pretty good.

I don't think it looks bad, and the general shape of the whole structure is pleasing.

When the corals fill out i think it will be perfect.

Whatever time you were going to use rescaping - use it to go to the hardware store, but some black paint, and paint the back panel.

It will do wonders for overall effect, and certainly will help your scape stand out in the right way.

Create some spaces between the rocks and place some rocks closer to the front glass on one side of tank and then further away on the other. Make the height of the rocks different. Provide places for the fish to hide and swim in and out of. Try to be creative in placing the rock.

Paint the back of the tank black or some other dark color. It will help give some depth.

Stacked rock is best for fish, IMO. It gives them places to hide and fully get away and feel secure. Things that humans find pleasing like caves and arches can make for stressed fish.
