I only have a 75 gallon but I have to say I love your aquascaping. It looks very natural and I love the open spaces you have.

I'm going to try and put a nem on that middle island and wanted good sand between so the little bastid dosen't move all around.

Oh and for those folks that wanted to know I only had 1 light on so that I could scape. I'm leaving the entire tank dark and vodka dosing during the cycle.

it looks really good. I cant wait to see corals all over it. I did something similar with my rock in my 450, I stacked all of my rock in the middle so that my fish have just as much room in the back of the tank to swim. Here is a pic.

It looks good. Do you have those rocks secured? I'm just envisioning a rock slide.

You can barely see it but I took some tips from ChingChais's thread in the large tank forums. I used putty between rocks to make them Fit 100% secure. It looks weird becaus the rock work slopes and inbetween rock areas there are balls of reef epoxysecuring them together. Also there are acrylic rods 3/8" thick drilled through most of the reef all the way to the top. I used some reef epoxy and a little "cap" of rubble rock to seal up the holes at the top. Its remove able incase one day I add a fish that I can't get out and have to rip apart stuff.

To the OP:
Looks too "thought out" to me and not natural enough. That may change with the placement of corals though :)
