Hi Yall!

I figured I'd share my most recent scape project. Tank is 60Lx30wx27T and sporting 140lbs of rock. The goal was to have a decent amount of open swimming space all around the structures and still have a decent amount of room for future corals. Feedback is welcome!

I think it looks great. Its a little uniform for my particular taste, but once it's populated by different types of coral I think it will look amazing.

I hear ya, I kept struggling with that same thought while building it. Basically had to force myself to invision it fully populated or I never would've stopped.

nice.
I would go higher on both sides, to hide the return lines. (pet peeve)
maybe extend the middle shelf on the left side. ( looks like it's mostly shaded by the upper rock?)
curious, why there are shelfs on the backside?

SP,

Thanks for the suggestion, ill see what I can work out and if I can build somethint up a little to cover those. The shelves on the back are just for some character when looking down the right side pane (it faces the main door when walking into the room). I wanted to add a little character to the backside when viewing from that angle.

Appreciate all the feedback so far!
