First Reef - aquascape thoughts

[reefercal]

Hey all - inaugural post here. Just set up my first reef tank and wanted to share the aquascape and get communities thoughts. Any feedback appreciated!!

Looks great. Why only one nero wavemaker?

Looks very nice, i like the aquascape a lot!

Looks really good!!! Only suggestion is make sure there are some nooks or places for fish to hide when scared/stressed. From the photos it looks like the rocks are close to eachother. If I’m mistaken than nvm and keep it. Looks great!

Hi. What kind of rock did you use? It looks great.

I like the way it looks as well. I would also echo Denisk's comment about making sure to have enough hiding places. Great start, can't wait to see your progress!

Looks great. I would suggest moving the Hydra 26s an inch or two closer to he middle of the tank. There appears to be some shadowing in the middle.

I like it a lot. Especially the right side. As for the left is the lower cave a swim through? Not sure if everything is glued or cemented together yet the one suggestion I would have is try moving the top left right slightly further to the left. Just to attempt to get a little more randomness to the height instead of going up like stairs. You really did a great job for a first reef aquascape!

Thanks for all the responses! I used real reef ‘live’ rock which I think is great. Not cemented/glued so will probably shift the rocks a bit for a little more space between them. Good idea. I will shift the lights too - was trying to keep them centered on the structures, but think there’s room for a couple inches. Will post some more pics

Looks nice.
I would just check to ensure enough clearance between rock and glass for what ever cleaning tool your going to use. Looks like it may be tight on left hand side.
