Curious to What you think about this Rockscape

[BiGGiePauls33]

Trying to create an open area for flow as this will be a heavily stocked SPS tank. This is what I've come up with so far. Should I scrap this idea and go with brach rock? or maybe add some branch to the current layout. 57 Gallon Deep Blue

I like the three islands and you have great platforms for your future coral. You may want to consider more variation in height between the islands. I think it is a really food start!

Thanks bud, in the next couple of days I'd like to bring the center up a level and maybe the rightside up 2 levels. Appreciate the input.

+1 on the variation of height

Thanks for the reply.

It's maybe just the pictures, but I've did this same mistake twice.. You really don't want any vertical surfaces, because that calls for serious shadowing for corals underneath

Thanks for the reply.

Looks good otherwise though! Making it a bit more asymmetrical will be more interesting to look at though. If it were my tank, I’d probably just leave the left 2 islands and raise the right one way up.

You've a lot of height left in that tank, use it up.

+1 up up up

I think it looks good +1 on varying height and slightly raised, maybe just below half. Give you room for growth up but also room lower for more corals

 

[gtrider]

+1 height variation. I would also make sure there's room in-between the LR and sides/back/front of the DT. It's hard to tell from your picture. What kind of light are you going to run?

I know you like your sticks paja so keep it low!
