I am making my first aquascape for my first ever aquarium. The inspiration is the HNSAs made by BRStv, although I am using different (second hand) rock.

The free floating sections are smaller because i found it hard to work with the pukani rock, the rock itself is a bit fragile and the attachment points are often small.

The right side if the scape is intentionally left more open in order to allow for a good viewing angle from my home office desk.

The “tree” on the right looks a bit funky but it has several caves and I’m planning on putting GSPs on the top of the 3 main branches.

Looking for feedback before i go over it all with more epoxy and put it in a tub of water

I am reminded of rock monsters from movies and cartoons. IMO They look too vertical and not much space for coral placement. What size tank are you using?

I'm really liking it! But my problem is that your forms are like a Rorschach test, so I'm seeing things. :oops: Can't wait to see these set up in the tank.

OK so it's not just me. I see like two rock creatures. One looks like it is holding a flat rock in its arms. The other looks like it is looking at the other one as if it is being presented a rock as a gift. The 3rd piece reminds me of a multi headed dragon?

Looking at it again I agree its quite a lot of verticality and it would be better if there were more sloping planes for coral placement. That turned out to be very difficult to achieve though, but I’ll see if there is anything I can do.
The tank will be 90 cm wide 57 deep and 55 tall. Outlines can be seen on the cardboard
