Brand new build and first attempt at an aquascape of this size. Tank is 60x20x21. Take a look and tell me what you think, please.

How far below the waterline would you take it?Move the center isolated island up or out of the tank. Build up the left side structure so that the right side goes up and to the right. Just an idea. I take mine apart and piece them back together like a kid with legos.
Thanks! It was a blast to put together, but finishing it out is turning out to be a pain in the A!Finally!! Ive found someone who did a NSA scape!! I like how the formations are close together yet have good flow through them. It looks amazing bro, totally jealous
Kinda hard to tell. Rockwork looks to end at about the halfway of the waterline height? No more than 1/4 of the way down would be the highest I would go so corals can expand. What types of corals will you have? If SPS dominant you may want to give corals more room to grow upwards. At the end of the day when this is finally packed with corals, no one will know exactly where rock ends and coral begins anyways.How far below the waterline would you take it?
Yep, for the most part, its right at the midway point. My initial thought was to stop there since I planned on having a lot of SPS and was afraid to go any higher since the lights would cook the LPS it it was higher.Kinda hard to tell.

From a balance perspective, would you raise one of the side vs the middle?I 95% like it. Maybe a peak 10-15% higher on the left or right.
Personally I prefer a less symmetrical look so that it's more natural. I'd go with raising one of the sides. Really love what you have though!From a balance perspective, would you raise one of the side vs the middle?
Looks good, but a different direction than what I was after. Love the coloration tho!Here’s another tack to take with the rockscape. Stack your rock on a fiberglass rod and add the branches.
Impressive!Here’s the 4 month later pic
