Tips and Tricks on Creating Amazing Aquascapes.

I need some honest opinions on my latest scape. For the most part, I love how it turned out. I think the right side needs to be tweeked but I'm just not sure how.

When you get some more corals, try some acroporas and branching monti's. Put them on the top for a little bit of a "spikey" look. That would give you a little more texture on top. The right side looks fine to me. Just make it look taller with some pointy and branching sps. Looks great! [emoji245]

Thanks so much for your input. I've been thinking about adding some branching corals, just not sure if I'm ready for that yet.

Great write-up! As an artist myself, I love the aquascaping process(: this was a good read!

My rocks are currently in the mail for my newest build; I'm hoping I can create something as beautiful as some of the tanks that have been shown in this thread!!

Looks good. Lots of space for corals. Nice hiding spots for fish.

Just got back into the hobby not that long ago after the new wife told me I should. Had a 90 on our bedroom for 7 months and then found a 215 tank and stand for $600. So thought I would post how the aqua scape is see what people think.

@Pife
I really like the simplicity of your scape! It's very pleasing to the eye.

Here's my attempt. I'll probably add a little more branching pieces when I go to pickup another bag of sand. Here's my build thread if anyone is interested. https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/cadlights-165-build.310152/

I found a really nice piece of rock and had to change it up a bit.

looks good. If you are planning on corals then I would take the top rock off, you don't have much room for them to grow up in that prime light space. I think I like your second one best. Notice how the top one is mostly in shadow but the second is in light? You might want your shape sloping away from the front a bit so you can layer corals there in the light. Does that make sense?

Updated took some off the top and make some shelves in the front and left side
