Absolutely this!!!!I suck at scaping!
You should add mangrovesI love how mine turned out, but with it being a shallow tank my left structure is really close to the top of the water so it's basically unusable real estate.
I did the same in my first, and the worst part was never being able to make the rock fit right I use super glue, insta set, and E-Marco 400 cement for both tanks and i’ll never go backFirst few Aquariums I had I always just stacked the rocks, not only did it look awful they could be dislodged an fall over. I learned that Glue and Mortar is the way to go, if I could go back I would have glued and mortared all the rocks and never stack again.
It’s absolutely stunning! Love the way you used small pieces and created little interesting hang-offs. Only thing I would be concerned about is the steepness, but might just be the angle. Even so, could work around if you use putty when placing the corals or attaching with rubble. Looks great - cubes are hard!So this is my first reef tank as such first time aquascaping in a reef tank as well... I wanted to create a bonsai/NSA style scape and tried to take into account of shadowing when I built the scape.
The more I look at it, the more I want to fix it or add more to it. Anyone have any suggestions for me? (Are my branches too close together for a nano?) This going into a 18x18x18 cube, hopefully I didn't build too close to the walls. I am planning to add a small island up at the front with a piece of live rock when I cycle my tank.

Thanks! Yea I was mostly concerned with the steepness as well, especially bottom branch on the left that extends up. I might knock that one back down and try to build a more gradual incline.It’s absolutely stunning! Love the way you used small pieces and created little interesting hang-offs.

This isn't about you. It's about me and what I learned.I replied to another response about this but I get the concern, I just don’t like fish haha. Bit odd in that respect! When the corals fill in the tank will look completely different and will work for smaller guys as long as I manage the bioload.

SometimesAbsolutely this!!!!
All I've learned is that no matter how much time I spend on it when I'm done I don't like the way it looks. I think with my next tank I'm going to go back to the old school "wall of rock" look where I just stack a bunch of rocks in the tank and however they look is good enough for me. What difference does it make if I don't like it in the end anyway.
Depends if you want to pack as much coral in there or not. I personally love a clean sandbed and would leave it like that to have this cool contrast, it’s really unique and would be a shame to change itThanks!
