Hey guys I am working on an aquascape for my reefer 250. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated

I like the last one

I like the first or last one too. But try moving the small rock near the center channel to the other end of the rock it’s on.

I like flat rock surfaces for coral to grow on but also like the flat areas to be at diffrent angles and slopes if that makes sense.
Good start or base imo. Keep at it.

Super easy, I’ll move it tomorrow and send pic. That’s the rock my son thinks looks like a smiley face

I like the way it looks and as mentioned it would make it easy for mounting corals, but it doesn't look like any of those give much room for fish to hide in besides the two main arches...just something to consider

Yea I also agree. I was thinking of maybe adding a few branch rocks in the mix. What do you think?

It would probably help but I am the last person who should be giving advice on the looks of an aquascape. I don't even like my own aquascape lol.

what types of coral you intend to keep?

At the moment I have
Torches
Hammers
Zoas
Pipe organ
GSP
Duncan
Acans
Mushroom
And plan to get some more torches and sos in the future once my tank is more established

so I like to slightly angle flats so the back side is higher than the front, for viewing of low growers like mushrooms and zoas. that way you can see them carpeting the rock when you are sitting in the room as opposed to having to be standing in front of the tank.
