Feedback with Lagoon HNSA

[Naekuh]

Hi everyone i wanted to have some feedback on my attempt at HNSA.
The tank is a IM 150G Lagoon.
The dimensions are 47.5" x 36" x 19" tall.

I am thinking i should have another sub structure in the middle, but i want some open area for floor corals like Acans, and plates and possibly a Zoa Garden.

Your feedback is greatly appreacted.

Top View:

The tallest point in structure is about 15inches.
That gives me about 3 inches of headroom with a 1inch sandbed.

Should i have a arch up top?
Should i change the middle to a HNSA or should i make it more of a semi circle.


Once again thank you for your input.

Hello!
Looking really nice!

If I may, I would just suggest to decrease a bit the hight of the rocks.

I also have a shallow tank and the corals can grow and reach surface rather quick depending on the rock structure!

Good luck and congrats!

i can probably do that if i put the feet below the sand bed.
Originally i was going to use STAX rock as base to rise it at sand bed height.

This would give me about 1 inch reduction in overall height.

Hello,
that makes sense for me, looking from the photos. Keep as it is and add the sand.
It looks really promising!
Cheers

One tip I would consider is think about how you want corals on the rock and how they will grow. I made the mistake in mine of making it look cool but it doesn't support coral well. For example if you like Duncan and torches how the ball like shape they become will fit in and such
