Just set up my 50# of dry and 15# of live fiji from marcorocks... can't decide if I want to stick with this aquascape (it was my first attempt... EVER) so let me know what you guys think and any suggestions are appreciated! :fish1:

I also have an extra piece of Fiji that's a decent size with some rubble and a chunk of dry in my fuge

I like it! Is that top right piece secure?

Thanks! yea everything is locked in pretty solid... was thinking of maybe pushing the whole right side back a couple inches to open up the front a bit

if it were me I'd add some "Depth" by either slanting one end back to front or sliding the ends towards the front a lil more ... (but the space you left in the back is GOOD!!!)

other than that, leave it ...it looks fine

If your like most of us you'll sit and stare at it for awhile and then move things around...again and again and again. :D

thanks, thinking of starting with some LPS and clowns and go from there. Need to wait on any SPS until I can afford to get another kessil LED

It looks good. I was wondering about that top piece too. Did you do rock first then add sand to avoid settling issues?

Indeed. :spin3:

I like it. A lot actually. Lots of nooks and crannies and its not too symmetrical. Do you have your rocks leaning up against the back wall? Did you use cement/putty? Looks like its gonna be a great tank!

Hey, what kind/grade of sand did you use and how much? Thanks!

I think it looks great, man. Plenty of places to put corals at different depths and lots of nooks and crannies for fish to swim/hide. Can't wait to see what it looks like down the line!

Thanks for all the comments guys, out of boredom and with the thought of where I want to take this tank in terms of coral and fish I've decided to completely rescape! I just added a DSB with live sand to my fuge (+1 cup to the display) so the water is cloudy now, but I'll try to post some pics of the new scape later tonight! appreciate all the feedback so far tho! :)
