Just looking for some opinions on this aquascape. Trying to set up the scape to be good for a mostly spa tank, have some good places for fish, and look (as best as I can) good through two panes. These would be the 2 views it would be seen from. Hard to get the depth of the rock work in a picture, sorry. This is for a tank as big as the paper, 45 gal 24x24x18. The rock work is about 10” at it’s highest.

Looks fine if you only plan on 3 or 4 small fish. It may just be my perception, but it doesn't appear to have much hiding/sleeping space.

Looks great!

What’s the plan for the corals?
Not 100% sure. I love the look of birds nests, and also want to try a monti cap if I have room.

I was did want more then 3 or 4 fish, there are 5 or 6 little caves and swim thurs, and a few of the fish I wanted borrow in the sand so thought this would be enough. Might have to rethink/work it. Thanks.

I re-scaped probably 3 times in as many months even though I thought it was perfect when I first started.

You can always add stuff down the road should you feel the need.

Have been working at this for a while. Lol I have this pice of rock that I love but just can’t get it to work. I was working on this all night, then took it apart this morning and started what you see above

I was looking at Jason Fox’s web page and these all caught my eye. The purple with green polyps I don’t think is a birds nest, but really like it too.

Wow, I can see why it caught your eye, gorgeous!
