Can I have some opinions on my 'scape ?

To be 100% honest...it looks very unnatural, and like u just stacked rocks. What you have is something that would never happen nature.

You could give your towers s more natural appearance by epoxying rubble rock between the rocks, to smooth out the transition from rock to rock.

Ultimately that it is pleasing to you is all that matters and hopefully you will have corals covering it all anyway right?

That's what I tell myself when I get a little obsessive about I could turn this rock that way or whatever...

Not trying to be nasty, but that is just my thoughts. I see so many tanks that have these super unnatural scapes with an under water building look to them.

Imho they should look as if we took a hunk out of the ocean. That pillar just doesn't look natural. The rest looks much better

Mine current one does not have water in it yet....my old one, which I am not proud of the wall look, but it was also my first tank. Regardless, it's an opinion

If you want to push the boundaries, you can still do that, and make it look naturally possible, like this guy:

at this point, I am considering the saying about opinions..

Hey, its your tank, but if you dont want to hear opinions, dont ask for them . There is s huge thread on RC about this that has hundreds of pages long. I probably cant link it, but feel free to do a search. It gives some really good pointers, and a basic method to use to create a visually appealing scape utilizing some fairly common techniques used in the painting/art of landscapes. Rather than get upset, or take my word for it, try and locate that thread .
