What represents the size of the tank, the cardboard laying down, or the cardboard standing up? I only ask because if it's the cardboard laying down some of your rocks look too close to the edge, but otherwise it looks good to me.

It’s a little high in the back to leave room for acro growth. Especially if you plan to keep any stags up there. I would just lower that arch a bit if you can. You’ll thank me in a couple years.

Just remember that part of the scape is how your corals will grow in. If you want that height, choose acros or sps that will grow up in that spot. My subjective two cents; take it or leave it.

I really like it. Does the bottom piece of cardboard represent the actual dimensions of the tank? The only thing I would reconsider is what type of sps you plan to keep and how much room to leave for growth. I like to consider for cleaning too.

the box on the outside does represent the tank, i gave myself around 5 inches each side for extra room.

Now that I'm looking at it. If you really want max sps rock space you should rotate the shaded rock to the right to maximize surface area

Sorry but imo that's too much rock. Too close to side of glass and too high for acros in the back.

Edit: nevermind! I didn't realize the cardboard box is the tank. I thought it was the paper under the rocks.
