This is good to know. Last thing I want is a rock to fall and cause damage.If you let that cement truly set, it is remarkably strong. The rock will break before the bond will.

Looking good to me. You have room to clean left side glass correct?
There are trade offs. Of course if the tank is deep enough you can pull it off fine. Or if you choose to go minimalist construction. The advantage is with flow IMO.What are your thoughts on piling rocks against back wall or living a gap. And why?
What do you guys think of this? (obvipusly not with the blue things to keep balance before using stonefix). Planning on getting some wrasses, maybe need more hiding places?
Well Thanks! I do like the look of it, dont know tough if wrasses/inverts would be happier with more hiding places? And yes! I do have a laarge block of Marine Pure to add to the sump, maybe some rocks (or ceramic rings) to the sump aswell for bio filtration.You have a nice minimal look going there. If it makes you happy, then you are good.
That amount of rock won't provide a ton of biological filtration. You might consider adding some marine pure or brightwell block to the sump for bacterial colonization space. If a wrasse needs to hide he will just dive into the sand bed.
Welcome to R2R!
yeah lol definitely made sure I had room for a magnetic scrubber or flipper scraperI am digging that scape. As long as you can clean the side glass ur good to get wet IMO.
If you need an outside perspective to help with improving your aquascape, just post here a few shots of your tank, and will try my best shot at providing specific advise according to your goals for the tank.
Sometimes I can just answer here, show the alterations using photoshop or make a video.
Just post here front shots with your cellphone/camera positioned at 3 different heights (sand level, centre and water level) and also a couple of angled photos, so that I can have a better understanding of your tank's layout.
This is a subject that is surprisingly not researched by most reefers and I have given some thought and some time ago I did a similar exercise in another forum.
It's also a great way for everyone to learn from each other and see a few freshwater techniques that we can apply and also many others that are specific for reef tanks.
In the meantime, if you want some inspiration here are a few videos I made with suggestions for different tank shapes.
