Hi guys! So I'm mostly happy with my aquascape, but I feel it's still missing something.

The first picture is what I have so far. Does it look better as 2 seperate pieces? Or should I attach them with an arch in the middle? I have 2 possible options for the arch with the pieces I have left.

The tank is actually 8" taller than the cardboard(my TV wasn't big enough) so none of the options goes more than 2/3 of the tank. What do you guys think?

TIA.

I agree with @fishface NJ the middle pic is probably to tall for corals 3rd may be also. Can you flip the rock connecting the arch to drop it down a bit, youll probably need to glue it. I am a big fan of arches.

I like 1 or 3... or maybe even try the arch a little lower with the same layout as picture 1 kinda like this, it might help you with feeling like something is missing

Number 1 for me but I prefer the bommie/island style of rock work

I think you could even go lower with an arch and more in mid to front. You would have tunnels for fish and two island peaks rising up.

So I managed to get it to sit lower. I also added another arch farther forward. How's it looking?
