Cube Scape Opinions

PugsAndFish · Nov 30, 2018

What do you think about this scape? I initially wanted some caves but that became difficult with the 24 x 20 footprint. The cave was just centered so it looked a bit awkward in my opinion. I tried the island and I'm digging it.

I'm considering making the right taller than the left by moving some of the pieces on the left to the right. Or, I'll cement a small piece at the top of the left side that is jutting inwards towards the right to create somewhat of a conflict? Or, I'll just keep it the way it is. I'm also planning to cement with E-marco. I may move in a year or so and I want to be able to life each island, put the island in a container, and put it right back in after relocating. I'm hoping I don't regret cementing.

Since the tank is small so I tried to also increase coral space as much as possible without crowding the tank. Tank will be mainly zoas and some LPS (acans, euphyllias).

Can you take the top rock off the left side and make a small cave by leaning it on the top rock on the right?

It's not long enough! I suppose I can break apart a couple of rocks (i have a larger piece left) and make and cave at the top by connecting the tops of the 2 islands but then it's like a hole in the middle which I'm not a fan of..;Blackeye

No your islands are cool! A cave on top of your right island.

I like it. The shapes are interesting. Nice canyon between them. Just be sure to leave some space for glass cleaning/scraping.

I think it looks great myself!

I like it a lot....coral placement might be difficult depending on what you are gluing into place but it looks really good.

A jutting ledge near the top of the left side would look really cool and give you a good spot for the more light loving corals.

Looks good. Might want to try tilting the top left rock in about 20 degrees. Would line up a bit better with the 2/3 mark. Should add a little more depth to the canyon.
