Feedback on my scape

[Piece of reef]

so ive attempted to make a HNSA scape

was working on it for about 6 hours today and tomorrow hopefully finish it off with a couple additions and lock it in with marco mortar

Just Wondering if i could get some feedback

Feedback?
It kind of reminds me of the desert rock formations in Arizona. It is interesting.
How tall is the tank?

They say that the Grand Canyon took hundreds of thousands of years to get it looking like it is today, so for 6 hours you are well on your way.

Thanks man, yeh just wanted some feedback, maybe some negatives that i could fix before finishing it,
Its a waterbox 90.3
Ive allowed roughly 30% - 45% space above the rocks for coral growth, Depending where you measure

Grand canyon... lol love it haha

I hear you. I have never tried to assemble a scape like this myself but I figured if I started the conversation hopefully folk that have will step up and provide some experienced based comments!

The question regarding space for growth and access is really all I’ve got, so let us see what the board can provide. Art is not my strong suite but I do have artists for friends

I think it looks great

I think it looks great........if I changed anything it would be to try and implement some fish hiding spaces at the bases. You can add some small caves without losing the look of the NSA with the addition of a couple of small rocks.

I really like what you did in the second batch of pictures. I've found that many fish and critters like caves, gives them a place to feel safe and secure if I'm working in the tank or just in general.

I tried to go for a negative space setup in my most recent tank, but ended up going with something a bit more dense and cavey/archy after I started second guessing myself once I started filling the tank with water. See how it feels when wet and go with your gut. At the end of the day, the only opinion that matters for your tank is yours!

Thanks argentum i appreciate it, after a year hopefully itll all be full with corals anyways, but so far im happy with it,

The negative scape is pleasing to the eye but not great for the fish and coral will grow out but how long.
I think you did a great job of combining the two goals pleasing to the eye and making fish comfortable

Thanks mate, i tried to keep in mind throughout scaping,
- avoid shadowing
-make as many caves as possible

I appreciate the feedback
