My First (NSA) Aquascape (175 gallons)

[jslud]

I haven't finished the mortar or sand, but the design is finished.

Overall, I'm very happy with how it turned out. The clearance from the glass is decent all around. It's better front to back than it is on the sides.

There are three main pieces to the superstructure. The piece on the right is a more centralized mass with a few interwinding arches and overhangs. The middle piece has a long tunnel at the bottom and a few arches while reaching out to the right. The leftmost piece is actually a complete spiral. I wasn't planning on making a spiral. It certainly isn't natural, but it was fun to design. We'll see how it holds up to fish and coral.

I'm open to feedback, but the design likely isn't changing at this point

Great looking NSA!!!

Following so I can refer back to the pics. Really nice work! I'm woking on a 150 build and this is great inspiration.
