Please critique my tank. Pros? Cons? What I should add? Remove? An aquarium is a piece of art in my opinion. All comments are welcomed. Please note this is still in its early stages. Ratings from 1-10 with 10 being best. Your feedbacks will greatly help me better my tank. Thanks!

Well I won't put a number on it because everyone's taste is different, but not sure what's to remove? Maybe add some caves or something, for the fish to make a home

Everyone does have their own different taste but slap a number on the video base off "your" taste :). In regards to caves or rockworks and sands it is still in its early stages so I have not decided where I am going to get the rocks from.

For my taste it's probably a 4 or less. I like lots of Rock and corals. I love yellow tangs tho -). The plants behind the tank are neat, but not a huge fan of the wall color partially used as a background.

Maybe pin up some color on the wall behind the plants so they pop a bit more.
I feel like the background should be different from the wall color. Just me tho

I don't want to rate it because IMHO your tank is still too early in it's life to rate. I think you need a lot of rock and then post a vid to be rated and suggestions on what should be added.

ohhh you have my two favorite fish! but yeah its really simple I would add some rock and some inverts cuc, cucumbers,coco worms, emerald crabs, anemone can give your tank some personality without corals(if that's your type.)

I agree about adding rock. The fish will feel more secure and it will help keep the tank in balance. Good luck!

Ok ok. This is intended for judgment towards the aesthetics of the tank but I guess I should also add that I have more rocks under the tank lol.

Sorry but I give it a 1. Add rock, black background sand or starboard. Just for starters.
