Reefer 625 aquascape.... JUDGE ME

[AZMSGT]

Ok Judges... Hit me with your best shot.

Updates several posts down.

I didn't want to go to tall as I want room for things to grow. Also I tried to make it so there is plenty of surface area for things to get placed. Lastly, I wanted places where fish could swim through and around.
The right side I wanted to basically act like a boxed canyon. So it wraps around slightly.
The tall arch on the left is three parts. Two towers and the center piece. The towers are mortared together. There is plenty of room around the entire structure to clean as needed.

I wanted some input regarding the rest before I start using the mortar on it.

I like it. Eventually my goal is a tank of this size.

I like the overall design, but me personally I think it looks too "perfect" if that makes sense.....not natural enough. That being said, once it is covered with coral, it would most likely look perfect !

Yea, I'm trying to keep the big picture in mind. How would it look with Coral on it? Hopefully pretty nice.. Lets be honest, a pile of rubble and rock would be natural.

I think it looks great.

That flat top on the arch would bother me. I would place another small chunk of rock on it just to brake up that flat smooth surface a little. Now lets see you get some water in that dream tank. Following

That flat top is going to my place to put new plugs to give them the most light. It's the highest point in the tank. Water will go in after the 4th of July weekend and I receive my next order from BRS. (plumbing parts)

Kinda wish that the two peaks were a different height, but it is a moot point once you have it stocked so... as a fellow blue card carrying member of the check of the month club I will judge your shadowbox. ;Joyful;Hilarious

Looks awesome.

That is true.....but it has to be a strategically placed pile of rocks lol. Once the coral starts filling everything in, I think it will look great.

Looks good. The only thing I would change is the structure on the right. It is too verticle. I would go with more of a stepped look go give it more depth and more area for you to populate with corals. But that’s just me.

Did some additional work, I was concerned about shadowing. Also wanted to cover more glass. I added more rock to the right side. I angled it to give it a more natural appearance. I added some islands add rubble up front.

I liked it more before, though you do have enough space for a small island on the right side vice the wall of rocks

I tend to agree. So here we go again.

 

[vangvace]

Looks good with the island.

Looking good, what type of rock and how much did order?
