Opinions on my aquascape

[cjtabares]

Just looking for some opinions on this aquascape. Trying to set up the scape to be good for a mostly spa tank, have some good places for fish, and look (as best as I can) good through two panes. These would be the 2 views it would be seen from. Hard to get the depth of the rock work in a picture, sorry. This is for a tank as big as the paper, 45 gal 24x24x18. The rock work is about 10” at it’s highest.

Looks great!

What’s the plan for the corals?

Looks fine if you only plan on 3 or 4 small fish. It may just be my perception, but it doesn't appear to have much hiding/sleeping space.

Not 100% sure. I love the look of birds nests, and also want to try a monti cap if I have room.

I was did want more then 3 or 4 fish, there are 5 or 6 little caves and swim thurs, and a few of the fish I wanted borrow in the sand so thought this would be enough. Might have to rethink/work it. Thanks.

I re-scaped probably 3 times in as many months even though I thought it was perfect when I first started.

You can always add stuff down the road should you feel the need.

Have been working at this for a while. Lol I have this pice of rock that I love but just can’t get it to work. I was working on this all night, then took it apart this morning and started what you see above

Love my birdsnest and monti cap. I wish you lived closer, Im always fragging and giving away.

 

[cjtabares]

Moved it into the tank and added a rock to the bigger island.

I was looking at Jason Fox’s web page and these all caught my eye. The purple with green polyps I don’t think is a birds nest, but really like it too.

Wow, I can see why it caught your eye, gorgeous!

 

[cjtabares]

Yeah, can’t wait to get my tank running and be able to add some coral.
