Scaping my tank

Khoi Mai · Feb 18, 2019

Resetting up my tank and came up with this scape. Look a bit wierd after I look it up again tbh. Any suggestion?
Its gonna be mixed reef tank. 240G

It what ever you like I'm Shure it will look good with all that coral on it

Thanks. Thats what I was hoping. Then again, I don't know much about how to place corals like to create better scape after they are big or just keep trimming along the way?

That left structure looks good, the right side seems a bit unnatural. Coral placement would help over time as @Neilth1 mentioned. What if you simply turned that center piece about 60-90 degrees to make it seem less similar to the piece leaning on it?

look up the rule of 3rds it work pretty good

I agree with it looking somewhat unnatural....I would leave the rocks on the left but "mess up" the two arches on the middle/right so they don't look so "placed". Try to make it look more natural, but still have some arches or caves....my opinion of course

Either way, once it grows in with a bunch of coral, you won't even be able to see the rocks!

I think it needs more rock. Finding spots to place the corals as you add more and more becomes and issue.

I totally agree with you about the two arches, they look unnatural. Perhaps adding some additional rock to the right side of the tank will help?
