Waterbox 100.3 aquascape opinions

[aciak]

I would love your opinion on the rockscape I'm building for my Waterbox 100.3. Tank dimensions: 35.4"L x 23.6"W x 21.7"H

The coral goal for this tank will be mixed (softies, LPS, SPS), but I'm really wanting to try my hand at sticks so I've been thinking that high par, elevated areas will be important. My concern right now is that I don't have enough of that so I've been considering adding more rock to the left side of the scape. The right side is 14" high and the left side is 10".

Thanks for the feedback!

I see nothing wrong with this at all.

Glad to hear that's what you think! It took a couple iterations to get it to this point, and I like it enough that I don't want to tear it down, start over, then realize that what I built I liked then not be able to get it back to this point.

Nope nothing wrong. I go a bit less on my rock scape to allow more swimming room. But depending on stocking, you may not need to worry.

I was sort of trying to consider swimming space too. I don't think I'll be going with fish that will require too much of that. I feel like there is a good amount of open swimming space in the middle/front, left/front, left/middle above the rock areas of the tank with this scape.

I like it. Plenty of places for corals and a lot of places for fish to hide in.

When considering an aquascape, I'd like to quote an unknown member on R2R that you can have as many fish as there are hiding places in your rock work. I don't see any caves/hidey-holes. You may want to plug up some of your swim-throughs at the bottom levels of your aquascape. In addition, you may want to balance said caves with a swim-through on the top level. All this being said, what you've created is beautiful. One of the nicer aquascapes I've seen!

Very nice! Just remember to leave some space between aqua escape and glass, to allow room for corals placed on the sides to grow.

Good call. That may be one of the few changes I make before I start epoxying this together. It's pretty vertical on the far right side next to the glass.
