Looking for honest feedback on my first tentative scape

[danielankeny]

Hi all, I’m looking for feedback on my tentative scape. It’s a 48x24x16inch shallow tank. 76g. Will be mixed reef, more soft and LPS than SPS I suspect. Will have 2 xf330 gyre on opposing ends. The cardboard matches the tank dimensions. Trouble getting the movie to work

I like it.
In time, won’t see much rock anyways.

I like how you have multiple separate structures. The fish will have different territories to claim. Nicely done!

looks great, once coral fill in the structures it will be super cool!

Looks nice. How much rock is that? Just wanted to get a gauge for my upcoming tank

 

[I never finish anythi]

Looks good .

 

[steveschuerger]

Looks good. Nice aesthetics and room to grow.

Looks good!

I would try and see how it'll look if you move the left arc slightly into the right arc, I think it'll give you an interesting structure and a some space for a mid size rock on the right instead of the smaller one on the right.
I know you might want some open space left I think you'll still have enough, worth to try and see how it looks.

Off to a good start. I personally would combine a few of the structures to give you more variance in height and less scattered small islands. Other than that, looking good.

I love it! You real did a great job of adding depth to it. So many aquascapes are very two dimensional. I like the tank dimensions too.

Looks really good. I’m running the same footprint and I think you’ll really like how it looks in the display.

I like it!!

just put some power heads at the back of the tank to make sure you get some flow back there.

I purchased about 100 pounds but I used probably 60 pounds for the scape. I’ll try to weigh it for you once it’s mortared.

love it

I like it. Probably is the angel of the photo, and all the structures look the same hight. You probably want to play with different hights-

@danielankeny i think your scape looks really great. I just redid my scape on a 120. I really like how you have smaller elements so it’s easy to put in and remove from the tank.

Thanks, no worries. Just wanted a rough estimate

Not enough caves and places for fish to sleep and hide. Hard to do with that rock.

I will give it a shot! Thank tou

Agreed, they’re all the same height and this needs fixed
