Hey everyone! Im looking for feedback from you all more experiences and educated reefers.

I just finished building my aquascape with the goal of an HNSA style with plenty of hiding places for fish and places to put coral. It’s for 4x2x2 120 gallon tank that will be a mixed reef. I didn’t nail the negative space aspect entirely because I used several “footers” for each piece instead of coming up off one piece and have a “hanging” look but I wanted to make caves for fish to hide. I kept about 4 inches from all the sides and went up to about 15” tall.

Do you all notice anything that needs to be changed or could be better?

It looks good to me. Like you said, plenty of hiding spaces for fish. Good area for coral placement and growth. looks good for lighting too. Are you planning to go BB or Sand?
 
Looks good. Nice flat spots on the tips for frags. I concur, more spaces/caves for fish to hide at lights out. GJ.

Thanks! I’m doing around a 1” sand bed.
