I'm building my aquascape for my 150 build. My current tank is just stacked rock. I'm trying to provide better areas for coral placement and nooks and crannies for fish etc. This is what I have so far. I'll be building another structure to put in the middle from the rock in the tank that is being upgraded. Also planning on breaking up some of the rock from my current system to place small pieces amongst the new dry rock. I also will be cycling the new dry rock for avout a month or so in a large tote. Total height is about 12". Tank is 5x2x2. Just looking for some opinions/ criticism.

I am a huge fan of less is more. So I really dig this look. However, I would tuck in a bit. Like boacvh said it's going to be tight. My two algae scrubbers are both thicker than 1 1/2 inches. My giant man hand can't even squeeze in there.

I certainly can. Just trying to get a gauge on the scale of it. Still need to create one more structure but that will be from the rock in my current system. I want to use as much established rock as possible obviously.

I think it looks really nice. I wish I had that creative skill.

Thanks. I am not artistically creative in anyway. In fact I had to break a few pieces of as I went along because didn't like it. I was actually surprised as to how frustrating it was to build this. However I was incredibly surprised as to how strong the super glue bonds are.
