First Attempt, Feedback Appreciated

[Daduc]

Hello all! Been out of the hobby for about 6 years. Finally get the opportunity to start an aquarium that can permanently stay in my home. Please take a look at the video and let me know if I should make any changes.

Rocks are about halfway up the tank and atleast 3 inches away from the walls.

You need to create caves for your fish to sleep in at night not just large swim thru tunnels.

I think it looks great! What kind of livestock are you thinking?

Thank you, I will get back to the drawing board and add some caves.

Thank you! Right now, im thinking (2) clowns, (1-2) small wrasse, a goby, blenny, bristletooth tang. Still figuring it all out.

Some swim thru arches are nice for the tank. I have several also but fish also like to fully conceal themselves at night or when they feel threatened. You are wise to keep a couple inches of space from the glass to the rocks.

We have similar size tanks and aquascape ideas. Here is mine when first set up and I added more rock to it after the initial photo you see here. It's a before and after picture for reference.

In that case, I agree, you’ll want to create some caves.

Very nice! Thank you, I'll move some things around and make some caves for the fish to sleep. Appreciate the feedback.
