This is my first reef tank but not new to saltwater. This is my second saltwater aquarium first was a FOWLR. But I and have created this aquascape. What do you guys think? It’s almost complete. I have a 140 gallon 48Lx 29H x 24D. It is five pieces.

The 'V' shape on the right kind of bothers me...too symmetric and artificial looking.. I would maybe make it less straight and more irregular but it also might look fine once corals are on it breaking up the shape. In the middle I see a 'T' shape that is also a bit forced looking. Maybe break that up a bit too with some irregularity?

Thank for the feedback. I agree whole heartedly. I changed the B-shapes piece. This is what I did. Any other feedback is welcome.

I was going to agree with the "V-Shape" I like the new design you have working good height in rock work for all kinds of placement of all different types of corals!

Nicely done.

I like that better. How tall are your pieces? You might want to consider how tall the top corals will be. Assuming SPS up there they can easily get a foot tall. Is there room for that?

I have 12 inches from the top of the tallest structure on left to the top of the aquarium. That should be enough room for corals to grow, right?

I liked the original "y" structure. I'd like to see a bit more negative space between the structures or height variance, either raise the first column or lower the middle and last a bit.
