I like the idea about having room and open spots also like having that Center they're open just in case you ever wanted to do morehere are some scapes I just did!
Looks good. These are just some suggestions I usually go by. Separating out and island or two and bringing it closer to the front of the tank so you can show a sense of depth. It’s Always nice if you can remove any rock across the back of the tank so you can have a power head that helps move out detritus.

yes! I was thinking about doing an arch, but I need to see if im gonna. my tank comes in on Friday so that will be determination day for me. I love your rock choice though! how long has your tank been up and running ?
Also if you can get a black background on the tank, you can have vortechs in there that are hard to see and you can have magnetic hanging frag racks you can add nice larger corals colonies on while you grow your stuff out.

Only 30 days now.. used live Wet Rock and live Wet Sand.
I was impatient ....and didn't realize that I shouldn't be putting in anything until well after 30 days but what's done is done. All my water parameters are good. I believe that the cycling the Tank part has finished most of things are looking good so far.
Tank has been up and running for 12 months last week! I’m hoping to get my tank thread up on R2R soon. Here is a picture of the tank bare after I Unfortunalty had a huge crash after my move. But these scenarios are always opportunities to make some huge changes.

indeed, patients is key. I just found out not to long ago that you don't have to wait 4-8 weeks for your tank to cycle anymore, Dr.Tims has a product and its a fishless cycle, takes 1 week. but im gonna wait a few weeks if I can anyways to make sure when I had my tanks setup 4years ago I had to wait 6weeks or so. crazy with the stuff they have now.

Hi everybody, I watched a video by BRS that featured a Red Sea Nano like mine and they had a very tall aquascape that looked totally awesome. I got jealous. But they used 25 pounds of rock in a display area that’s only 16.5 gallons. I wanted more water for my livestock so I did not make the rock formation very tall. On top of that, I specifically wanted rock islands to grow zoa gardens, so with those ones in the front, it adds up to 20 pounds of rock.
Can you guys please assure me that I can leave it alone and just grow Xenia or something (my AI Prime light intensity will max at 50%) on the top of the rock to make it look taller? I also plan on putting Green Star Polyps on the back wall in the upper area.
Or should I place another small rock on the top of the arch? I already have close to 20 pounds of rock in the tank!
