Updated a little, any thoughts? I’m kind of digging it.

Okay, okay, one more update with my 10 year olds input.

Funny how it looks just like the pic with your little daughters, you knew what you wanted. I like it. The one on the right could use a little adjustment, that diagonal piece on top might be hard to work with. But easy arrangement to add a could pieces to bridge/ add coral space.
Disclaimer- I love the rock wall. I've tried to do the 3 island thing but ended up filling the v's.

By right, I meant "left"

I did move that one to the middle to give the middle some more height.

I like. When you getting her wet?

This was my 344 DT 8x3x21 ish which ran 2014-2020.

8’ 240 gallon, old school wall of rocks. More places for corals, lotsa caves for fish. Never a fan of NSA, but to each his own.

Absolutely gorgeous. What is NSA?

NSA is a style of aquascaping. If I’m not mistaken it stands for negative space aquascape. While pretty to look at, I don’t think it provides as much area for coral placement or an environment that feels natural and protected for the fish where there are places to hide.

Very pretty. Love the look.

All I’m waiting for is my canopy to be finished. Then we are off to the races. Everything from my current 65 gallon tank will be moved to the new one. It’s getting crowded in the small tank.

Are you building the canopy yourself, any progress shots?

Thanks. In hindsight way too much rock. Nowadays I am much more of a fan of NSA

I’m not. I am having a cabinet builder do it. I work in a hospital and with 3 kids time to do it was minimal. I did build the stand for my 65 but an 8 foot canopy was daunting to me.

Thanks. Negative space aquascape. Minimal rock. More about form than function.
