Just got my first tank, finally! After ordering the AquaForest OceanGuard 275 (only the tank and plumbing arrived), I switched to the UNS R90 and waited about 1.5 months for it to show up.
The original aquascape was designed for the OceanGuard’s roughly 22” x 22” footprint. The new UNS R90 is a full 36” long x 22” deep, so I had to modify and expand the scape to fit the extra length. It was a fun challenge, and I’m really happy with how it turned out in the longer tank!

love the design! My only comment from experience would be to leave more space between the sides of the tank and the structure, so that you have room to clean the glass.

There’s an about 2” clearance at the closest spot. Would that be enough
