Keep space on sand bed or add more rock?

Thoughts/preferences?

I have the Fluval 13.5 and will be keeping it stock - hood has to stay which means lights as well.

Tank is only a month old and I don’t have any corals yet. Plan to do mostly lower light corals based on my lighting limitations. However I was thinking if I have enough height in the rock work and more rock to elevate corals, Would I have more options with different coral types? Or am I just reducing real estate to place corals and for fish?

Current scape has an open sand bed in 3 main spots and max height is about 3-4 inches from the water surface. I was thinking to add another piece of rock at the far end corner where I have the most open space? Should be the second picture for reference.


Current stocking...
a Fire Fish and YWG. Plan to add a pistol shrimp and maybe one more fish at some point, possibly a small clown.

I think it looks great as-is!

I think it looks great but I might suggest moving the rock work away from the backwall a hair. Evo is a fun tank!
That is close to my stocking but instead of a clown I have a cleaner goby. 3 is a fairly heavy stock and clowns can become aggressive but others can chime in.

I like it how it is! Looks like you have a variety of heights. If you're doing more low light corals just make sure you have more space on the sand.

Thanks all. Nice to hear everyone likes it.

I’ve got more old/dead live rock I just started curing. I may play around a little while I wait for the take to mature some more.
