If you look in the nano section of the member's build threads then you may find some inspiration. It may be helpful for you to take a swag at an aquascape with the pieces that you have and then post pictures for suggestions. Good luck!

this is how I have it right now :/ but it doesn’t sastify me, and one more question since you seem like you know many things in order for coral growth should I keep my lights on blue or white ? or little bit of both like an ice blue or baby blue ?

A single pile of rocks is fine but may not always be the most visually appealing. Is the rock on the right side of the image supporting any other rocks? Could you set the angled rock in the front right area as a separate "island"? You may have to connect the other two rocks together for stability, but you may be closer than you think. Keep working with it - I think it will come together for you!

Here is a video that you may find helpful that dives a little deeper into lighting:

Are you planning on adding any corals? Usually corals will eventually cover most/all of your aquascape and other than looking at bare rocks until that happens, aquascape won’t be that important down the road.

What you have in the pic above looks fine in my opinion. As you add corals (if that’s what you end up doing) you might find the height of the tallest piece might be too high, but by all means leave it in there for now. Also make sure that you have enough room between your rock and all sides of your aquarium - both for better flow in the tank and for ease of cleaning the glass.

Tbh I didn’t know what I was doing but liked how it turned out. I recommend adding caves for the fish to hide and make sure u leave enough room for the corals to grow . I also blocked that bottom hole with epoxy and put a rock over it so the chamber will have better flow . Here’s some pics of what it first looks like. I kept changing my Aquascape until I was happy with it .
