I’m in the aquascaping portion and my tank is 29” tall so it’s kinda difficult to not have a bunch of empty space, any tips on gaining height for rocks capes? Please send some pictures and tips

I have a 30” deep tank and I purposefully kept my aquascape low so that I could have nice full colonies of SPS one day growing with that height.

And by low I would say that I have all rock work under the top 1/3 of the tank.

I have a 30 inch tank and was able to get a decent amount of height and lots of caves. It’s mostly live rock so I built it under water with reef safe epoxy from two little fishies. This is a picture of the initial structures when it was initially filled. I’ve added a bit more since.

That looks great!
