New Scape

[LeftFootedJedi]

Setting up my 20G peninsula this weekend, will create separate thread for that, but wanted some thoughts on the below. Good/bad? Concerns?

I plan to have soft corals at some point. Most of the rock is sitting on its natural/heavier side. Should I secure them with glue or adhesive? Or am I ok without?

That scape looks good, think you would be fine without gluing them!

Thanks. I was also toying with this one. Pls excuse Kylo, he was being nosy.

Looks good, maybe consider a standalone island for visual interest and separation?

 

[LeftFootedJedi]

Good idea! Let me see what I can come up with.

It's to archy/spindly for me bit like a load of MMM stuck together. I'd try remove the left arch and make a more solid island on the left.

I can see that too. This is how it ended up but I’m thinking of scraping it and starting over.

A bit more variance in the height of your structures would be nice

Looks limited in hiding spots for fish. They need to be able to hide to reduce stress.

Better? Sorry for the pic quality but the flash makes it hard to really see the nooks & crannies until my LED’s come in.

I want half of the structure of the first pic on the original post connected to half of the structure on the right. One taller arch and one smaller cave. These are ok, but again, some more variance would be nice.

 

[LeftFootedJedi]

I might be able to make that happen

When placing rocks on each other try place them in a way that the lock/merge together. To me there’s nothing more unnatural looking than a rock sitting on another with gaps around the point of contact. Does that make sense?

Your last effort seems to do this.
