Think I’m done. I’m so not a creative person. I wanted tons of space for coral. A bunch of tunnels for the fish to swim through and a cave for them to hide in. I got all those things. I only wish I had any talent at this. My first tank was set up by the lfs guy. Really don’t like it so much anymore and was excited to get to this one. Worked a long time on it. I’m curious your honest opinions. For me I really like this. I know it may be a little high but that was on purpose. I know it’s about the best I can expect of myself. But for my next try I like to have some constructive criticism. Now to start to fill

To be perfectly frank, I kinda dig it. I'm seeing plenty of swim-throughs, caves, and hidey holes. The two little islands in front will give a good sense of depth when encrusted with corals. Looks like you have lots of surface area for coral placement at differing depths in the scape. Good job! Wish I'd put that much thought into building my scape. You may get some comments about the rule of thirds, but in my opinion that's just a general guideline, and it really comes down to personal preference. I think you've built a scape to be proud of.
 
looks good. My wrasses would love the little nooks and crannie.
 
Done
Not.creative.
You sound so displeased. Lol

I think it looks great. You crammed a lot of rock in 1 place.

2 things i reccomend are make sure you have room where you wanna clean and see the critters beyond the glass.
Earthquake test. Dont be afraid to hold a.rock or two and wiggle. Earthquake test! Lol
**Be careful of breaking glass or scratching acrylic when performing earthquake tests.** Lol!
