Thoughts on a newbies scape

[TheCountryReefer]

Tank inner dimensions 28.5 x 69 inches.
Blue tape is measured out to 24x60 inches. That way theres a couple inches between glass on long sides and 4 inches on short sides. Going in IM200 peninsula.

I really like it

I may add a formation my 6 year old son made where the islands are currently.

Added my sons creation in the corner:

I like it.

My concern is with the 6 rocks in front on the base.
Seem very close to the front glass so mounting corals might be an issue on those rocks.

Is quite nice though! Well done.

I like it as well! (have some of this same rock waiting for me to do something with it) lol

One thing to consider is that the IM200 probably only has 20 inches of water height. Depending on what you're wanting to have for corals, you may want to lower the scape a bit.

Thanks for the thought! The tallest point is 11.5 inches and yeah the water height is probably closer to 19.5”. So is 8.5 inches not enough?

The blue line is not the glass, but 2.25” off the glass on the long sides and ~ 4” off the glass on short side. Think its too close still?

I think you'll be fine. The scape just looked a little taller than it actually is.

Thank you for your input, I appreciate it!

I love the scape. I made a section in my tank out the same Marco plates.
