I’m just set up my 15g long and would love some opinions on the scape. The first picture is what I’m currently going with.

I like the bottom picture best.
Aesthetics are personal but the more horizontal areas you can get stretched out at different levels, the better for mounting corals, IMO.
I’m really thinking the bottom one was the best too. The top rock I added on the left seems to overshadow the bottom one a lot. I might leave the far right how I currently have it then go back to my original design on the left. I’ve just been trying to figure out how to get the most space as I intend on keeping mainly Euphyllia then some Ricordea, Zoas, a couple other random LPS and softies, and a few Rock Flower Anemones.

Another vote for the bottom picture!

I always suggest this because I wish I had done it: If you have a little extra space on your sandbed, you might want to consider adding a small rock/island off from your main scape if you ever decide to add a fast-growing/tank-taking-over coral like GSP. GSP isn't everyone's favorite, but I'm quite enjoying mine at the moment! I just wish I could isolate that bugger...

I like the bottom best too lol!

If you plan on having corals, they need some room to grow upward :)

Good luck!

Here is a clearer picture of the top option.

If that's the scape that you like best, go for it! It's your tank :)

Just know that you may need to plan for coral placement and growth, if you plan on having any corals.

I’m doing Euphyllia, mushrooms, Zoas, and possibly a couple other LPS and softies that catch my eye along with a few RFA when the time comes. With the light I have I’m thinking the far left rock being higher would be the best way to give the Hammers suitable par. Either way, if the do grow too much I’m working on setting up a 40g breeder as my main display tank
