I just completed a similar aquascape for a RSR350 (90gal). Here's the YouTube vid:


After a few months of having water in, I'm on the fence about the amount of rocks I have inside. I might remove a few rocks to allow more growth of coral, and to achieve a sand to surface look. I like how you have it arranged though, you really put some thought into it. All the caves and crevasses are so sick.

Thanks I'm kinda worried about the amount of rock also. I was going to go high like you did in one side but am a little concerned going high due to water changes if I place corals up high. I think the highest I'll go is half to 3/4 up. Yours looks very nice! I will say it's very easy to aquascape sitting down on the floor. Couple more weeks my sand n salt will be here and getting all that rock inside the tank similar to the look now will be the fun part lol.

Cool video by the way.

@Busa1340 thanks man. You're right about the drop in water level but it shouldn't cause any harm if it's quick. The biggest variable I am considering is the lack of upward growth of corals. You're on point and can make adjustments when the time comes, enjoy the build, I kinda like the rush of building tanks more than the stabilized end result. Have fun.
