Aquascaping, any of these look good?

[gabrieltackitt]

Any of these look good? I think I’m leaning towards the third one but any advice from more experienced reefers is great.

 

[Jaebster]

I personally like the top pic.

 

[canadianeh]

I like the first one as it less crowded and has more open space for fish to swim around. Your tank look like a shallow type so you might consider growing room for SPS if you plan to have SPS dominated tank

 

[josvanmeer]

I personally like the top one, it shows the three dimensional space better.

 

[TheShrimpNibbler]

The first pic is my favorite. They all kind of look the rocks are in compacted stacks. Try stacking them in ways that make caves. The most important thing is that you like it though, since it’s your tank.

I like the 3rd

The two island off set each other and more space for coral and fish. I'm a sucker for Walls

 

[Cherub]

I like the third one, it looks more stable and easier for coral placements

Between 1 and 3 for me, if #1 had an arch it be perfect. But all 3 will look good full of corals.

I agree, 1 or 3 in my opinion, but as others have said, it's your tank so it's all about what you like.

You could try leaving each one for a couple of days, if you have the time, and every time you walk by just see what you think.

^ this is the best advise. Live with each for a while, see which one grows on you, see which one you miss when you switch.

I think the third one has the most caves and tunnels for fish to swim in and hide under, front pic doesn’t do it justice. Here are more from the top and sides.

 

[ReefLab]

Third is too symmetrical for my taste. First looks great. But do what you think looks best! its your tank! fwiw I think both would be good for coral/fish health

 

[gabrieltackitt]

Just realized I didn’t attach the pics in my last reply. Oof

Here is another option that I found that I really like while playing around with #3 earlier.

I ended up taping it out on the floor so that I could finish cleaning my tank to prep for water soon!

 

[Markhoh3]

I like the one you just redid, better than the first 3.

 

[gabrieltackitt]

Agreed. I fell like it has bits of what everyone liked from the 1st and 3rd. And it’s been on my floor for several hours and I’m starting to really like it.

Of these choices I like 1,3,2 in that order. 2 is terrible imo

Nevermind this is my fav. Very dope

yeah I agree with that. 2 had lots of caves and hidey holes for fish but it kind of just ended up looking like a blob of rock.

I’m pretty certain I am going to go with this new one. It combines the parts I like from both of the other two
