is the main part too big? Worried it’s cutting into an already small swimming space. I will be adding sand and obviously water when it’s mixed

Depending on type/quantity of fish/coral, you should be fine.

I think aesthetically it works. One thing to consider is how tall the far right piece is. So if you want any branching sps or even Kenya/colt, be aware the shading will be very pronounced. Since they’ll grow to the surface quick. I think if given correct thought to coral placement and type, this is gonna be killer

I won’t be getting any sps so that’s not a worry but yes it’s quite tall at the back.

The only issue I see with this rockscape is that it is very close to the glass, making a scraper impossible to use.

It’s actually not as close as it looks in that pic, here’s another. I could potentially break off the top part but it could break the whole thing.

I like the look it but see no hiding spots for fish. Do you have an idea what fish you want?
I’m getting a pair of small clown fish. I’m also hoping that corals will provide hiding spaces when I add them.

I could look into changing it completely and getting something different.

Looks good, but depends on what all will be going in the tank. Not very many hiding/feel safe areas for fish.

Should not be too high up on the right side unless you were planning to go acros in the future which will still have plenty of room to grow upwards before needing to be pruned
