Wanted an opinion on my scapes

1

2

Had the first one for a while changed it to 2 today was Gina see what other people thought thanks

Mine is like 1, but I think 2 is going to better for LPS on the sand. I like 2 because it's non symmetrical, I think most people over do the symmetry. If I didn't have such a tall tank I'd aim for 2.

I like 2. I'm a big fan of distinct zones in a tank. You can do something different on each outcropping.

Thank you agreed . So picky with the layout it kills me

I like the over hangs, and your fish will to, in #2.

If you look up vivid aquariums on YouTube, I just did an aquascape for their new nano. Dave burr is narrating, but there's some good tips in there [emoji106]

Fan of #2, I am curious to see how it'd look if you removed that right most boulder rock from the left pile and add it to the top of the left pile.

I like 2 better as well!

I'm with the majority on this one, I like #2.

#2. That separate island makes the tank appear to have more depth.

Either will serve you well. /1 might give you more placement for SPS. 2/ more for LPS. However remember that once corals become established the whole look of the tank well be changed. Areas will be filled in caves and overhangs possibly less seen. IMO as long as you have an open type structure with plenty of holes, caves and overhangs then you will be onto a winner. Aesthetics although very much an individual thing will change as your reef grows. Many people forget this and 12 months down the line their tank can look quite different from when they first set it up esp the reefscape which of course is what we expect or should do with a thriving reef. Just my 2 pence worth an thoughts.
