Opinions on my aquascape

[joeg123]

So I have a waterbox marine x 110.4 and I just cant seem to be content with the aquascape, something just always feels "off"

this is my first "proper" reef tank, I'm upgrading from a fluval evo 13.5 gallon, I'm not rushing this build and plan to cycle for a month or 2 without lights and just slowly add over some of my fish from my fluval


asthetically I like what I have come up with but still something seems a little not quite right, I'm also wondering where I will be placing corals

I have quite a few smaller shelf pieces left and a handful of smaller marco rocks left, I can always get some more, I feel when you overthink something its best to get other peoples ideas, a fresh mind kind of thing

any suggestions appreciated, thank you!

Scape looks good!

There will always be places you want to move things ;Hilarious

Keep in mind coral growth but I like it!

my preference is to split right side from left.
stagger the height between the two.
work from high to low on an angle from back to front.

right now you are working height and length only.

what types of corals do you intend?

I'm pretty new to the hobby so SPS are not really appealing to me at the moment, maybe in the future but for now I have a few torches, hammer and zoas and other corals I want to get is acans and a scolly and more torches and hammers

It looks pretty good. If it was me, I'd spread things out a bit to give yourself room for coral growth. It'll look bare for awhile until things start taking off, but when they do you won't be trimming stuff back or rearranging because of growth.

I like your layout. If it was me I would mix your height up a little. It is to uniform across the tank. As a suggestion, Break your tank up into thirds. Have a high, medium and low section. Don't over fill and leave room for coral grown even if you are not into SPS right now that can change. But some LPS need more room to grow than others.

is it already cemented together?

no only the lower shelf is glued to 2 rocks, everything else is just stacked

tilt the flat pieces so they slope from back to front.
imagine zoas or acans all attached to the shelf. without the slope you don't see the back pieces
unless you are standing directly in front of the tank.
