Hello everyone, This is my very first attempt at building an aquascape for my 32 gallon tank. I would really like any suggestions or comments before moving on. Thank you! I also did a second one let me know which you like better.

I like it. Plenty of area for corals with a couple of caves for fish. Good job!

As long as you can clean the glass after corals start growing(this is where I always fail). It looks like the sides might be a bit close to the glass but its hard to tell. Looks like you got some good rock pieces. It should be a fun little tank.

Looks good! You've got some caves, and it looks like you should be able to minimize dead zones depending on where you put your power heads.

Bottom pic. Potential tweaks are considering a small island of some sort in front of one of the caves or varying the height of the 2 main structures a bit more. It's a tad symmetrical, but there's still contrast in the domed cave top vs jagged so it looks pretty good as is.

Are you meaning something like this?

Either are great but personally prefer top, only because it appears to have more swim throughs. Only other suggestion would be to weigh available rock and space with your livestock list (corals type & height, and fish).
+1 for verifying glass clearance
+1 for adding some short islands randomly out front

I'd try something a bit flatter for the island or kick the current piece you have out in the open space to the left of the cave to see what it looks like.

I like that better than in front of the cave. That can be a nice zoa rock or something.
