Hi everyone! Finally I am starting my new 100 gallon reef tank after 10 years with the red sea max 130D.
This is the aquascape I designed, please feel free to add your opinion!
I started to fill 3 hours ago, I think it will be completed by tomorrow morning when I start the cycling with microbacter start xlm... Almost there... See you!

I love al the negative space! What corals are you planning on?
 
Thank you for your comment! Specially because I am still concerned if I was too radical on the negative space....
Regarding the corals selection, it's a good question, I still don't know.... But differently from my last tank I would like to choose very well according to my set up... In the other I used to see the ones I liked and them tried to adapt... I want to create a good environment for the fish to swim all over it.... If you have any idea, you are very welcome.
Thanks!
 
Man can't wait to see what this becomes! I can already see the Montis and Acros in this size tank. Haha
Me too! Lots of growth potential for big colonies.

Corals take up space. Building a scape that looks good without corals is going to be useless when you have corals taking up the space. Too little negative space is a mistake a lot of people make with aquaecapes. I love what you did. I don't think it will be a lot of negative space for long though. I honestly look at that and see massive coral colonies in the empty spots.
 
Thank you! Indeed, literally even more room for creativity with colorful corals.
Thank you for your support!
 
I like your aquascape, is it viewable from all sides? If so you'll love the "grow out possibilities".
