Can I get some opinions on my aqua scape so far? Tank plans are SPS/acros. I know I need to leave room and space for everything to grow out but it feels bare to me. The 60 breeder I feel is hard to scape with its shallow height. Tried to leave plenty of openings for flow etc. my only thought is maybe an arch in the middle, back portion? Connect the two current structures? The tank has a center brace so light will probably be restricted in that area somewhat. Anyways would love some input!

OMG...great aquascape IMO! Few touchpoints on the bottom, so tremendous flow and no detritus settling anywhere you cannot vacuum. I'm a big fan of BB and that setup as you can see from my BuildThread.

Nothing over 50% of the height of your tank...check.
Following a rule of thirds...check.
Leaving room for acros to take off after more than one year...check

Let's see a build thread! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

Love it have a 40B for over 2 years now
..and im always like...dang it...wish I would have a got a 60b instead. Don't get me wrong, I love my tank....but the 60b is just the tad bit more I wanted.

Best of luck!!

Oh wait, I see you have a Build Thread already! You need to "relink" it to your profile as a badge. I'll see if I can find the link to that process if you don't already know.
This.

Thanks! I’ve learned from my current tank of 22 years the ol' stacking rock wall is a real pain! Detritus trap and impossible to access areas when needed. I’ve wanted to try SPS for a while now (done softies and LPS) in for a challenge I’m sure but hey gotta try sometime.

I’ve started a build thread. I’m not the greatest at keeping up on taking photos and posting. Tried adding the link to my profile but keeps saying invalid address? I’ll figure it out someday lol

I was originally planning to do a 40 breeder but then saw the 60 breeder. Same awesome dimensions in my opinion but just that extra space needed. Your tank looks awesome

I've got a 60 breeder I'm going to be adding into my new build, once its been up and running for a while. I was going to do all shelf rock, may still, but this has inspired me!

I open my build thread and then copy and paste link address but says invalid? It won’t let me even copy and paste the address/link here in this post….says server error?
