Are you happy with your aquascape? Did you do it yourself? Did you purchase a pre-made aquascape? Do you have plans to change your aquascape? What do you like or dislike about your aquascape?
 
Every aquascape is one's own creation. If you and the livestock is happy- thats a positive.
If you are looking for suggestions, often members here posts a pic or two of their scape inviting others to offer suggestions and some will even draw up a scape for you.
 
Yah I'm content with mine, I feel like I went through a lot of different ideas until I finally had one that stuck with me.
That’s what I’m going through right now. I use to have a wall of stacked rocks. Removed them to create an NSA. I’ve built and taken apart my NSA like 10 times trying to find a style that fits my aesthetic and also provides ample hiding places for fish and spots for corals. I’m exhausted from the process. Hoping I’ll be done soon. Glad you found something that stuck for you.
 
The real question is are your aquatic friends happy with the aquascape.
Definitely. That’s the most important thing, hands down. Making sure fish and inverts have ample hiding and scavenging places and corals have ample places to grow and expand freely. However, I think there are so many different ways to design an aquascape that not only makes your aquatic friends happy but that also can serve as a piece of art for your individual aesthetic.

For me, it was best to sit down, and look through a ton of ideas from other's on here. Then I took personal favorite aspects from aquascapes I liked and incorporated them into my tank. I would've went a little more crazy? But only so much you can do with a 20g cube haha
 
I had to rip mine up to get my pesky mean tang out!!! Had to re do the scape and it actually looks better now!
Fish seem to be out in the open more since theres more caves and stuff for hiding

Yeah, I took screenshots of scapes I liked from here and google. But every time I built something, it just didn’t turn out how I wanted. I think I’m hopefully getting close though.

You'll get one!!! You'll end up making one and it'll just stick!

True and it should be that way too. Aquascapes look much different to after corals have grown in and there is color and life.
 
I still feel like mine is lacking something. A talker middle pillar perhaps? What do you fine folks think?

I like the structure on the right. Maybe some more branches/caves coming forward on the left or middle structures to give more 3 dimensional vibes?
