Tell me what you think

Nice. Lots of arches so there's no dead spots so good job on that. Kind of hard to see without lights. In the second row of pics on the left, the rock on the right looks a like it could be knocked over. Might want to reinforce the structure w/ epoxy if you haven't.

Can you take a side shot? Looks like a lot of rock to me, you may want to cut back some. You wanna give the fish some free swimming room. Hard for me to tell front he pics.

A side shot would allow me to see how much free room is from rocks to to glass.

Not too crazy about it but I'm just being honest. I mean no disrespect at all, your tank and you need to love it and that's all that matters honestly. I scape my tanks for me and no one else.

Bottom line.... Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

It is 50# of live rock. I will post a side shot when I am home tomorrow.

you only need like 25lbs of live rock...

 

[Convict2161]

Just to give you an idea. I have 30 pounds of LR an 25 pounds of LS in my BC29

If it we're I'd open the front up a little for some free swimming space and maybe bring in down a little on one side. Keep it high on one side so if you get high light corals you'll have a spot for them.

What I did was this. I figured out what kind of corals I was going to want and scaped my BC29 accordingly. This way I had spots for everything I wanted. It worked out pretty well but I still moved things around a little.

I tried to take some side shots of my tank to give you an idea of what I mean. You can have that full tank look without actually filling it. The placement will give the illusion of a bigger fuller tank.

It's all about what you like remember that. Don't stress out. Just of you want move things around and sit back and take a good long hard look at it and try and envision what you want.

I want to like it but I also want the fish to be happy when I get some

Better. Can you move the top rock on the left over and kinda have it leaning against that bottom rock? I just wanna see how it looks. But it looks better IMO. More open space.

Just please remember you don't have to take anything I say as written in stone, you have to be happy with it not me or anyone else. Everyone has there own style and taste. I'm just not one of those people that will just say "great tank" or "really like what you did with the scape" IF I don't mean it. I offer my honest opinion and that's it...

I mean no disrespect to you at all

I'm just a straight shooter.
