Hi there! First time aquascaper, looking for feedback. Custom tank size, 54" x 18" x 18" - figured I'd try to get everything cycling in the brute bin while I'm waiting for tank to be build.

I would love your opinion on the rockscape I'm building for my Waterbed 100.3. Tank dimensions: 35.4"L x 23.6"W x 21.7"H

The coral goal for this tank will be mixed (softies, LPS, SPS), but I'm really wanting to try my hand at sticks so I've been thinking that high par, elevated areas will be important. My concern right now is that I don't have enough of that so I've been considering adding more rock to the left side of the scape. The right side is 14" high and the left side is 10".

Thanks for the feedback!

How did I do? Pics are straight-on, angeled, each end, and a top-down shot

I wanted my rocks to look cool while also being good fish habitat and spots to grow soft and lps corals. So this is my sea dragon skeleton.

Would love feedback if I should change anything?

(Sand in uneven because I was trying to set wavemakers properly) All good now.

I also have a large chunk of live rock from LFS that is in bottom left corner behind skull (it's just not in these photos).

Hi guys

Need some help deciding whether I should leave a gap behind scape or push against rear sump wall! If I leave a space like in picture I’m able to get a cleaning sponge down back and my tunze scraper has enough room on front. I could maybe put zoas on the front perches so they don’t grow out so much.

Or I push against rear sump thus allowing more room at front of DT! I will have two wavemakers on either side to help with flow. Any suggestions welcome

I would leave some space , better for flow and for cleaning.
