Scapes are so much a personel thing.Been working, playing, figuring and fighting. Changing my tape. I need some swimming space because I want some tangs, angels and other critters that need room.. I taped out my space giving basically a 4.5" swim/cleaning lane around the outskirts of the tank. Then using a rough rules of 9, and completely attempting to be asymmetric I arrived at this. Left hand look, will be seen as you walk into the dining room, so must have some interest. Grabs you, I hope, and looking over the dining room table, et voila! This is only the 5th iteration, many more to come. Thoughts? I am a neophyte.
Look at my thread for a minimalist scape.
My 120 only has 75lbs rock.
Back is open and I have over 60+ corals in their including 14 fish.
Either way the tank looks awesome.
Cant wait for it to come together.
Make sure you leave some room between the scape and the glass. You will thank me later when the corals grow in and when cleaning the glass with a flipper.
Dont give up on sps, its not that hard if you have a plan.
