How is my first ever aquascape?

Just a note with gorgonias. They can be very toxic and finicky at times. Stick with the few that are captive grown such as Grubes gorg, Tracy Morgonian, others. Some large leathers are quite noxious also. So, just make sure lots of flow and carbon in the system.
With a wrasse, make sure to have a nice tight and secure lid/screen. They love to jump and get through any tiny hole they can find.

I have a built in lid. I plan on having 3 wrasse lol. My favorite fish by far.

I have loved all my wrasses too. They are so inquisitive and become like dogs for me.

Hello, I’m 14 years old and currently in the process of setting up my first reef tank. This is the scape that me and my dad set up. I personally like tanks that are more open and since I plan on keeping mostly bottom dwelling and open water fish I feel that having less of an amount of live rock to hide in won’t be that big of a problem. I also don’t plan on keeping any corals that need really high intensity light, so I feel like corals can thrive not being super close to the top. I’m open to any negative feedback. Thanks in advance!

Very nice. Good job!
