2, then 3 are my votes.

2 and 5 for me!

I like the fourth one, but to each his own.

 

[motownjc]

Made it so you get 2 votes

 

[Devaji]

my 2 cents...
I say don't be afraid to take a hammer and chisel to come up with some smaller pices the "putty or cement " it together.

I like the shelf rock perfect place for frags to grow out.

I say #6 with out the large top rock and bring in the other shelf and add it to the right side @ the lower "joint"

#4 is nice to

 

[Westside Guy]

I like 2 & 5.

 

[LIreefguy]

I like 2.
5 is good too but it might be too high

 

[Mastiffsrule]

Looks like the 2 are winning. Some seem to vertical in the pix which may limit coral placement. 2 looks like it slopes a bit giving more area for frags

 

[Peace River]

I like #1 at the moment, but I think that #2 will look the best when covered with corals.

I like 4 & 5
But to be honest the big hunk of rocks need more character. I would chunk some pieces off with a mason hammer and re stick them back on as mentioned. Just too much of a round pumpkin look.

4 and 6
Intersting how mixed opinions and tastes are. Apparently no right answer, to each there own
I would think strongly about what coral your using the sizes and shadowing created.

 

[Algaewarrior]

2 for sure. Best arrangement for lots of corals. 4 and 5 have rocks too close to the glass and will be hard to scrape around. You have to think about maintenance and possible having to catch fish around aquascaping.

1 n 6 for me looks more natural but all are nice I suppose (but really 1 n 6 are best)

 

[Peach02]

Personally id say 1 or 2 without the flat platforms, preferably 2 without the platforms

Let me ask my wife,...
1 is too tall unless you are going to put a mangrove up there.
2 is great, but pull it off the back wall,
3-6 I voted for two.
It will look better once you get rid of the cardboard. Cant wait to see the final set-up. Nice rock!

It's not touching the back wall. All of the scales I have room to get a scraper in to clean

At the end of the day you can always change it later on. I have changed my scraping 3 times since I added water to my tank and started to add coral. Try not to use glue if possible!
