Setting up a 20 gallon… I built this aquascape but wondering if it’s too low and I need to add height to it? Or if the coral growth of euphyllia and potentially sps will fill it out. Definitely going for a more minimalist look on this one.

Also attached a photo of my large tank aquascape which I kinda wish I built a little bit lower. So I’m not sure what the happy medium is.

Thank you!
 
I am a big fan of the lower aquascapes. Just my personal preference. Especially for sticks.
 
I like a lot of rock so I don't think you have nearly enough. More rock will be appreciated by your fish and you gain more real estate for corals. Get a couple big pieces mixed in there.
 
I think it’s beautiful. Maybe add a couple single pieces to the sand bed…textured pieces that will provide hides for some of your fish. And then on top, bam!, you’ve got the perfect place for a zoa garden.
 
Your rock is just your foundation....the true scape comes from coral growth. I think it look great. I would try to add a small cave or two though for fish....even if you hide it in the back behind the structure.
