Advice on improving my aquascape

[0utworld]

Hi all, I've been running this 20G Nuvo for around 5 months now and I initially designed the aquascape minimalistically. However as I buy more and more corals, I regret not putting more rocks to generate space for corals.

I was wondering if there is anything I can do to improve on my aquascape, whether it be moving around existing rocks or adding new rocks. All advice is welcomed and appreciated!

Thanks in advance :D

Looks great to me! I know you want to add more coral, but I think more rock will throw off the create look you have. Time to upgrade to a 40!

I gotta agree with @sawdonkey. Your scape looks great, and those corals are going to grow. It's almost a moral imperative that you upgrade with the skills you have. Just sayin. ;)

You could perhaps add some branches to your existing aquascape, it does look pretty good imo. The one thing adding even just 1 or 2 branches would do is give you more height variation. Both islands are pretty similar. This won't help your need for more coral locations but aquascape will also look better without a frag tank in the display tank.

I also agree with the above comments. But....if you really wanna try adding rock to that tank, maybe try some of the branching rock - think Caribsea has a Branch rock and I'm sure other brands do as well. You could place a couple pieces in there without blocking too much light and then have quite a bit more real estate to work with. Just a thought!

The tank does look great though!! Great work!! Are you dosing 2-part(or any other similar add) or just water changes so far?

stop buying more corals.
or upgrade by a factor of 6.

Thank you all for your answers! Really appreciate them. I think I'll keep the current aquascape for now and if I do consider adding rock, I'll definitely look into branching rocks.

Thanks! I am dosing Tropic Marin's All for Reef and I'm doing biweekly water changes.

Haha the first option doesn't seem possible.
