You don’t need help! They are good.

I like 1 2 and 3, I probably prefer 3, I would just say to go for the more open options if you are not having a lot of flow.

If you like what you have, leave it be for several days, dont look at it and dont think about it at all. Come back to it after that time, and look. Odds are there will be things that you dont like and want to change. Getting scape that you really like and that is functional can take week(s) to accomplish.

Also, arches. For some reason everyone that aquascapes for the 1st time always goes for arches ( I did this myself lol) but they are very unnatural. You wont find arches in wild. You will find caves, crevices, rocks on top of rocks, lots of hiding spaces for fish. Arches dont do any of that.

Finally, once you put corals in there, you wont even be able to see what your scape looks like, so build what is functional for fish and corals you plan to have.

Should be fine might just have to keep lights down for the lps on the top of the scape. Looks like most are at least halfway up if not more.
Thank you !
no just one scape is the highest at the middle every other one is like in the half of the middle :)

I think any of them look great.
Definitely pick a favorite and let it sit for a few days. Guaranteed you will change something.
Also, I found the appearance of my scape changed drastically after putting them into a tank due to refraction.
If you can, put the scape in your tank while it is cycling and make adjustments if needed.
