I am trying to scape a 120g 4x2x2 rimless tank with a center overflow. The tank will be a reef with fish that will be moved from a couple of my nano tanks - wrasses, a clown pair, a couple smaller fish & I’ll probably add a couple tangs. It will be LPS dominant & I want a lot of coral placement space as well as sleeping/hiding places.

The peak of what I have laid out now is only about 13” high, so I think I need to go a little higher but I want opinions. Also, I just want overall ideas on the direction I’m heading. I’d like to keep two separate islands if possible, with the smaller island being for anemones.

The scape looks great.. The SPACE looks phenomenal!!! Is this your home? Can I come live with you?
Oh thank you so much! This is our shop actually! Hubby & I have an HVAC business and since we basically live here, so do the fish. Lol. It’s only two blocks from home so I can get here quick in emergencies.
I’ll definitely be doing a build thread on this tank.
 
I added one more arch… just to get a little more height.

I like the scape. If you are looking to add LPS, then I would add a few islands to the overall scape.

That explains that HUGE space!! I was thinking either that is one ginormous space or there is a mirror in the back left reflecting back...
 
Looks great but as other mentioned, you have room for couple low level sand islands also.
 
Thanks all!! Sand and rock is going in tonight as soon as the water is done mixing! I have a couple of rocks that I’ve decided to pull from other tanks as well over the next week or so, so that should help flesh out the scape a little more and jump start the pod population.
