How's my aquascape?

[RedHairyGorilla]

As the title said, just starting my first reel tank (IM Lagoon 25g). Looking for opinions on my aquascape.

the only recommendation I'd make is to turn the left most rock counter-clockwise. Going by the first pic it seems like it has an overhang that, in my opinion, would be better served facing inward. Otherwise looks great!

I turned the rock counter-clockwise. Which set-up do you like best?

I love the 1st pic.

That's some great looking rock with lots of critters. I think you should take a chizzle and hammer to some of it. Use some reef welder / reef putty / emarco / and create some ledges and what not.

I agree, you should break it up a little bit. Right now it looks like one ledge. Cool looking rock though!

I liked the first and last. I would take into consideration what you want to put in also. Reeferbean had a good point about ledges especially if you want to place corals or hiding spots for fish. Myself, I would not break up the rock, it looks too nice. But that’s personally preference.

And welcome here if I missed you new to r2rpost.

I would prefer to avoid breaking the rocks...would it be feasible if I have the large rock lean against the circular rock with hole in it and have the small flat rock go across both big rocks like a bridge?

I like it. I just started my reef tank not that long ago.

That LR looks very healthy

I think the rock looks healthy. Lots of different things on it.
If you don't want to break up the rock, then having the "islands" might be your best option. first landscape looks great.

gotcha, I guess I'll rotate the left-most rock back to the way it was before.
