Hi all.

Just set up my first reef tank and wondering if my aquascape looks adequate?

It’s a 20 gallon cube and I’m intending on keeping a maximum of 4 fish, as well as soft corals and some LPS. Fish I’m planning on are neon goby, watchman goby / pistol shrimp pair, singe clownfish and either a Royal gramma orchid dottyback. They all occupy separate areas of the tank but do you think this aquascape will be sufficient to accommodate all of them without conflict?

Thanks

I would go with a taller scape with more places for fish to sleep
 
Looks like a great start! There’s a bit of negative space towards the top, but there’s no rule that says you can’t have that.

If you do plan on redoing it, you can make the aquascape outside the tank using reef safe epoxy or putty
 
i agree I would go taller and I would add more rock at the base to create more individual hiding spots.
