i do like these minimalist aquascapes, but do you guys feel like there's enough places for fish to hide? any issues overstocking a tank with minimal rockwork?

Hey guys, this is my first time putting together a reef tank. What do you guys think? The small piece in the middle is for a golden torch (in a distant future )

Really dig it! How tall is the tank? Will you have adequate light penetration given the rock is all so low? Mollies, huh? interesting!

Thank you. The tank is 40cm high and I don't really need high par because I will only add corals that are living under 150 par.

Just make sure the rocks are resting on the glass instead of the sand.

Here's the scape I did for my 150g peninsula, about 40lbs or do of reef saver rock, held together with emarco. Lots of overhangs and room for sps, I would consider it pretty minimal.

My favorite type of tanks are the ones where you get an entirely different perspective depending on the angle of view. Great job scaping this tank! Will look killer when corals fill in :)
