Hello Everyone!

Getting back into saltwater fish after a 15 year hiatus. While waiting on my tank to deliver I decided to order up some rock and get aquascaping. I don't think it turned out too bad, no?

There is a lot to like! You will need to be careful of coral placement because of the overhangs, but the fish will love the scape. How high is the scape relative to the height of the tank?

My only critique would be if the cardboard edges represent where the glass is. To give yourself more room. You want to be able to clean the glass even after corals grow in.

Other than that i like it.

The strucutre is 11.5", tank is 16" deep, so I thought that would be sufficient!

Right on! The angle at which the picture are taken makes it look way bigger than it is (in terms of how far outside the cardboard the overhangs are. I'll see once I get my tank in....If worse comes to worse, I'll get an angle grinder and chip some of the edges off, or something. **smashes entire thing on ground**
