Which scape better?

Hi, need your suggestion. Which scape better? A or B? Please vote above. Thanks!!!

I like A more, and its more open to let the flow clean the rocks.

If you are having more, smaller fish that will want to hide in the scape I think B, but personally I'd get rid of the the connecting brush and do it as 2 islands.
If going with larger fish, I'd go A it seems to have some larger holes.
At least that's how I'd decide, but I'm no fish expert, lol

I like B just for looks. A looks a little bit too placed, like the rocks don't flow together

Yea, that's right and I'm still deciding to add sand or bare bottom.

Haha thanks for your info which I never think of it when designing the scape. I'm planning to have both. Then this will be a hard decision for me. Lol.

Yea, B is like more connected to each other. Both scape have their good and bad which make me cant decide it. Lol

I like B more. I'd agree with removing the bridge though. Maybe put a single Little Rock to connect them. It might look more natural...

 

[Flippers4pups]

A. For flow and hiding places for fish.

 

[jsker]

I like the flow of B

 

[gotwins86]

I vote for A. I like the openness of the scape. Lots of holes tunnels arches for fish to swim through.

 

[PSLReefer]

B

 

[James72]

Prefer B

 

[Devaji]

the question is not what we like but what do you like??

I like A but with the bridge form B or make it 2 complete islands...
I think A has more coral mounting options.

I like scape "A", a lot of places for the corals, light structure, easy to go water trough, a lot of caves and places for the fishes .

 

[billy1205]

Good Idea! I will try to put the bridge from B to A, then it will become a connecting island. I will make a try when I back from work.
Yes, A scape have more coral mounting options and i believe more hiding place for the fishes.
Now another question is, should i go for bare bottom? As this will be a SPS dominated tank. Bare bottom might have a healthy tank due to higher flow? Is this true?

 

[Jkimball]

A seems like it will leave you more room for corals to grow out! Both are pretty awesome.

I like A for all the swim thrus for fish and spots to retreat too. Just looks more open and inviting, both to fish and viewers <g>

A as it's more interesting for you and the fish, good for flow. Do remember that in a year or so both will likely look the same due to coral coverage (assuming your reefing).
