I am really big on Pukani rock. You don’t need nearly as much and it is much easier to aquascape.

I'd like to see some space between some rocks for crevices or caves--not just flat on top of one another so could build up one side a bit more. Mine is a "wall but there is lots of room for corals and lots of swim thrus. What type of fish? Open swimmers or rock dwellers (those liking to hang around the rockwork)

You can still add some pukani for interest. I mixed marco rock and pukani and some tonga shelf in my pic above. For my new build, I have a mix of marci, pukani, tonga shelf, and reef cleaners due to arrive next week.. Will add some from my current tanks as well to get it seasoned

+1 on adding some swim throughs and caves. I like the 2nd scape personally. But i would add some height to it. Here’s an FTS of my scape. Plenty of caves, hiding spots and 2 open areas in front. Also provides plenty of levels for corals with lower/medium/high requirements for placements

I actually really like the second one with some,minor changes. Instead of connecting, keep the two separate but maybe overlap them. Try turning the right structure so it finishes near the front glass in the middle and turning the left structure so it finishes near the back wall in the middle. That will give a little "raceway" down the center and really will give it depth especially in a 2ft deep tank. Don't change it too much though it looks great already!

very nice @nfrench2100

Fun getting ideas for my rocks that I start next week. This time I want some terraced slopes for corals. Hard to place a lot of corals on a "Wall" so I plan to do a lot of sloping and terracing

Here's a photo to help you see what I'm trying to describe except if the left structure were turned a little further to the middle. FYI this is NOT my tank or photo, I take no credit for it simply found it in a Google search

THis is the image I used when creating the left side of my scape - I loved the "valley" look - it is so hard to imagine the corals on it, which will really make it work!
