Greetings all. I starting a new tank. It will be mostly sps, with a few lps softies on bottom and sandbed. I wanted to create two distinct boulders, with a lot of open areas in and around the rock work for flow and for fish to hide and swim.
here are my first attempt with a combination of caribsea arches and some base Marco rock. Nothing is glued yet… curious to hear what you think.
the rock work is framed by a life-size Frame if the tank - outside dimensions of the frame represent the outside dimensions of the tank. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

note some of the head on pics distorted the size of the boulders a bits the left board is approx twice as big as the right Boulder

Looks good but just get your flow right in that big cave so doesnt collect lots derritus in it as be hard to clean in there it looks like.
At first picture your right it just looked like 2 small boulders with couple smaller white rocks and thought was a joke ha ha
But from other pics and top down view can see it decent sized structure and aslong as you got different levels for placement of corals and plan how the corals will grow into each other.
Safe hiding spots/ sleeping quarters for fish.
Flow through/ around/ in the rocks so no dead spots/ detritus and looks visually pleasing to yourself whilst the corals grow in which i think you have all that if get your flow right then good to go.but ive only aquascaped one saltwater tank so newbie noo lol
Had lots practice with cichlids but aquascapes i did for them nowhere near like the effort/ time and money it cost me to do my aquascape pffffft
Good luck and hope you get great enjoyment from your tank ^_^
