Need 210 Gallon Aquascape Ideas

[justdeb1107]

So I recently purchased a used 210 gallon setup and need some aquascape ideas. Since we were driving 4 hours one way, had to clean out everything in the tank before putting it back together, and had fish and rock is garbage cans of water, everything was rushed. The local reef guy helping me did this scape. All I said was I wanted caves. We were all exhausted by the time the rocks went in. That said, I now want to take this "wall" down and do something better. Since I already have 8 fish who live here (they came with the tank), as well as the fact that it's all live rock and can't stay out of the water too long, I don't want to spend days gluing super intricate arches, etc. Yet, I do want something more appealing. This tank will be a mixed reef, so keep in mind I plan to add coral.

Please drop big tank pics below. Thanks!

I actually prefer the HNSA scape.

Not a lot of people like it tho, but my fishes so far do not find the scape stressful which a normal NSA scape can, and looks like art.

But HNSA and NSA scapes are more designed at coral then fish, because they offer really exotic look at getting shelves to put coral on.

I absolutely love that!

The favorite scape that my father and I have made so far. Roughly 2 year old pic.
