What do you think of my scape?

[Jarbour14]

Was going to go with a prostar tank but my LFS Just got a reefer 350 in for CHEAP, what do you think of my scape thus far, and has anyone used moani rock before? I chose this rock because of the advertised "spored bacteria" and special grade aragonite sand.

Looks good to me

There are many different styles and if you aren't 100%, happy try moving them around a few more times.

Some.make arches or islands to give depth.

Lol itll work but id say imagine having all the corals and where you would place them,fish spots.lighting and flow.thats alot of rock and there's so many possibilities. Then think about where your gonna be looking at it in awe. And cleaning it.lol I've rearranged my rocks maybe 3x this month but I only have a 20 ga.just imagine where your gonna put the frags.

Instead of having all the rock go from side to side all at the same height, try making a couple islands, each one being different. Look at this thread https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/tips-and-tricks-on-creating-amazing-aquascapes.97209/

I think there is alot more you can do given that the tank isnt filled as yet.

You have the liberty of creating nice pieces of structures and gluing them better when they are dry.

Also watch BRS negative scape youtube video that can give you an idea of what can be done.

Dont rush this step, it could be the scape you keep for the rest of the tanks life..

Thank you for the input everyone, I do like the look of having the rock together but I have restructured the scape so it utilizes the depth of the tank more. I think it looks much better and more natural this way. Also leaves more open swimming room above the scape, Thoughts?

Here’s what I would do or try... move the “red” rock to the top, and slide the “blue” rock slightly to the right

Make sure that your structure is stable. Stacking and making arches is awesome. I'm a big fan of lines of sight all the way through. Just make sure that it isn't going to become London Bridge falling down once flow gets moving.

Looks great, congrats. I’d go bare bottom you wont regret it

I will 100% be gluing everything together once it looks how i envision! Thank you for the help

That looks so much better. @DaneGer21 was spot on.
Is there enough room to get a mag cleaner around the sides?

Just moved a few of the rocks that were close to the side glass in a pinch to get a mag cleaner around it all
