Looks great
Please understand I’m not Criticizing when I say this but I think your rock might be a little high if you’re going for a true “negative space” look.
I think the idea of negative space, as BRS refers to it, is that you use minimal rock and let the corals fill the aquarium.
Maybe off set the structures. Have one structure further back than the other, keep the highs and lows staggered.
Symmetrical doesn’t look too Natural.
IMO aquascape looks better when it doesn’t go all the way up to the top, fish can swim above the reef and corals can grow in naturally to fill the space.
Different heights and depth add more to the reef than rock all the way to the surface.
Again, these are just my opinions, To each is own.
Either way, nice tank, nice build!
I look forward to seeing it progress.
Thanks for the feedback! I very much appreciate it. Your points are all well taken....I've moved perhaps from NSA to something more like a structured rock wall look. I think we would prefer that look with less negative space.
Lovely setup!
Question regarding the rock ~ Are the holes within structure large enough for plugs? Or what's your angle when adding corals down the road? Sorry for the noob question.
Some may be, but I generally cut off the plug mount and epoxy corals directly to rock.
