I'd love to get your feedback on the pics above. I've read your original post and think I've done what you explained

My advice is to move that seeding round rock in the front left behind the other rocks. its out of place. Then, looking at the front view, make your rockwork more diagonal. Take the right side and bring it more forwards towards the front of the tank and maybe push the left side back a 1/2". that will give it more depth.

Thanks. That out of place rock wasn't staying. Just didn't take it out before the picture. I'll try those things out and see how it looks

Your aquascape looks great. The only suggestions i have are on coral placement. The sps in the middle that combine the two structures should be moved if possible to seperate the two . having a gap in the middle will make it more interesting. Also the corals on the sandbed are a bit random. Rockwork is great though!

Thanks I have just randomly placed them on bottom till I decide where is best to place the acans.

The blue planet acro on bottom is going through light aclimatising so will slowly be moved up.

The coral joining the rock work is an asparagus tip ( colt coral ) softie. Where would you suggest would be an idea placement for that.

Thanks for taking the time to reply

Thats a neat looking softie, its hard to tell what it was in the pictures. If the lighting and flow is good for it, i would say move it above to the right of the green star polyps. It will help break up the 90 degree agle rockwork in that section

That is honestly so beautiful, very nice job! Now just place your corals correctly
