Four Month Old 90 Gallon. Would You Change The Aquascape?

[Sully32]

I transferred to a 90 gallon about four months ago, and things have been going fairly smoothly. The only issue is that some days I like how the scape is looking... other days I hate it.

Would you change it or just be patient and see how everything fills in?

Looks good to me.

I wasn't sure if I wanted any rock built up higher, or if I wanted the two structures to be separate at first. My hope was that I could get the slimers to grow upward to fill in some open space. It is just starting to look a bit too uniform for me. Maybe that will change as the side with more SPS grows out though.

I’d add onto it with more rock not change the current stuff. Mabye build up behind it really tall to add depth and height

i absolutely love it and think itll look sweet as it fills in more

SPS will give you the height in time.

Got a nice flow as it is.

Looks nice, only thing I would do other than adding more rock is also building some sections higher. But don't listen to me as I like my tanks with a plethora of rocks for excellent biological filtration, allowing for lots of places high and low to place corals where they prefer. Also it creates many caves, passages and plenty of sleeping quarters for my 14 fish. Nothing minimalistic about my tanks.

I think it looks awesome. Wouldn't change a thing.

Let it fill in a bit for a few more months. See what it looks like after?

Thanks for the input everyone. Maybe I will just let it grow out for a few months, and then I'll see what it is starting to look like. If I don't get much height out of the sticks by then I can add more rock up there. I really prefer big colonies over a ton of "mini colonies" or frags. I might add a few more corals, but otherwise I'm happy with it. There are about 25 different types in there, so I think it will look somewhat "natural" when they all start becoming colony sized pieces.

That is a super nice looking tank. Most of my tanks in the past have been packed full like that, but on a smaller scale. I decided to try something new this time which is why I'm questioning it so much. This is also the first time I've had substrate in years, and I'm liking it more than I thought I would. I do have a ton of rock in my sump and refugium for biological filtration. I've had most of this rock in one system or another for at least 10 years.
