So, I am currently in a fishes 76 day cycle and did a little rock movement. This is a fish only tank. I am a minimalist and prefer symmetry (I know, I know!). Thoughts? I am kind of diggin' the nooks and crannies I have created. Nothing (even though the picture is deceiving) is touching any of the sides.

Be honest! It's a 75 gallon, 4' long.

I like it.

Looking good! I know you like symmetry but you asked for opinions lol.....I would try to increase the height on either the left or right side so it isn't the same height all the way across. Again, that would ruin your symmetry so feel free to ignore this post :)

Looks Good.:)

I know you are right....but my OCD won't let me....hahaha!

step away from symmetry, it'll look loads better and have more depth :)



What I would do :)

I like it. I also like that suggestion above.

I had two distinct rock piles in my 180 reef....initially at least. Then as I needed more real estate for coral, I began to fill things in. The opening of a gap in the center will give both more depth of field...and also another path for fish to travel.

Since this is a fish only tank I think it will work good.
Plenty of hiding/sleeping places to keep the stress levels down.

You did great, comrade we love it

I like it, and also the suggestion sketched out.

Just some experience advice. I did something similar, We used to call it the rock wall. Came to hate it, recently went with a set up like sketched and love it.

But, you have to look at it, so no matter what our opinions are, at the end of the day you are looking at it. Leave the room for and hour. Walk back in and look at the tank right away. Go with your first thought. You walk in and smile, thinking to yourself I like it, roll with it. Walk in and it’s like ehhh. Move it around.

I like symmetry too. I know all about depth and movement and all that but it just can’t compete w good ol’ symmetry. Would you consider something like this?

Do you want it to look natural...............or symmetrical :);)?

W fish only and no fancy structures, you'll be free to tinker with it anyhow. I like it how you have it. I would just want one break or a pass-through cove somewhere in the structure. What if you end up with a couple of shy fish that spend day and night on the back side of the structure ;Bucktooth
