Partial scape for Waterbox 130.4 - keen for feedback

[lmfbs]

Here's one half of my scape for my new waterbox 130.4. I can't really figure out what to do on the other side.

Any feedback on this so far, and ideas for the left side? That's the angle I'll view it from from my living room the most, kind of the 3/4 angle I posted below.

Looks good. Maybe you want to move the small rock a little bit further away from the big rock in the future. The room between them will grow in and you would partially lose the tunnel effect. But if you don't glue it, you could always move it a few cm.

Maybe this tank from Sandero is some inspiration? (It's a dutch forum, you need to register to see full pic so here is a a large version. It's well worth it to read that diary.)

Ik ben het aan het proberen. Het vergt een stevige pomp. Bij mij op 120cm was een 7000lph niet voldoenden dus heb nu ik een 11500lph op 100% draaien. Maar eigenlijk denk ik nu ik hem heb, "het kan eigenlijk nog wel meer". Als je enkel op je opvoerpomp gaat werken zou ik in jouw maat zeker aan...

In reality, the small rock is just over 20cm away from the big rock, but I might move it a wee bit further away!

Thanks for the inspo, I'll check it out

Super awesome. Love the open space and minimalist approach. That is what ibdid on my tank redo. Mybonly thought for the back left of aquarium would be to put some type of taller skinnybstructur to connect to small rock and maybe create another pass through. Or just call it done and use corals to make up some type of coral island in left side

Great job

Looking good. I would probably add some small "branches" off of the smaller rock, similar to how you did the right side.

I like it. Maybe a coral with some height on the left. A sea fan or some gorgonians .

If our tanks are the same layout then you may have to account for the overflow box protruding in the center rear area. It caught me off guard when I did my scape and put the rocks in the tank.

I took inspiration for my scape from this thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/need-help-with-your-aquascape.385531/

Love the structure on the right. Would like a comparable, but somewhat opposite structure on the left to fill the negative space. The middle island seems a bit too beefy in comparison to the structure next to it.

Here's what I've ended up with. I did fail to take into account the overflow and I felt like a right idiot

Very nice, corals and fish will love it!
