Critique my aquascape!

[Shoeburt]

This is my first “big” tank as I have only had nano tanks. Thoughts on this 75 gallon aquascape? Ways to improve before adding sand and water? Thank you!!

Not an aquascaper by any means so will just ask this:
Are you planning to have something under all of that?
If not, seems like most of the small caves/passthroughs near the bottom will just be burried.

The things that would bother me down the road, just personally, are:
- no room on the left side glass and seems like little room at the back
- a lot of the rock on the left is kind of straight up so tough to mount many corals at different heights ... but maybe you have a plan for that
- not sure if you're planning to secure all of the pieces but one continuous structure wouldn't be my personal preference

*no criticisms there,,, just thoughts
Good luck...

I like half of it, but I don't like the half that comes outward. It cuts off too much sand area which is prime real estate for show piece corals. The rocks are also too close to the front glass, leaves no room for the fish to swim out front, so they might stay behind the rock where there is more space.

Looks nice. My feedback would be for any rocks close to the glass, make sure you can get a scraper (hand or magnet) to clean the glass all around when you need to. If not you’ll lose visibility in those spots as algae/corraline develop.

To me it looks like a solid wall. Different hights arches and swim throughs. That's just my opinion. You make something you like. Can always change later

I was unsure about that side anyway. I will try something new! Thanks!

There is some room in the back but not much. Maybe the width of my fist? Thanks for your thoughts! I will work on that left side

Is it secure? I would recommend using jb weld. Worked perfectly for me.

Update on what I came up with! Let me know what you guys think!
