New aquascape

[Corne]

Hi everyone.

I am looking for some opinions and possibly tips and pointers. I am still waiting for my aquarium to arive , but i have started trying to scape with the dry base rock.
The bubble wrap was cut to the size of the aquarium 90x 60x 45 high
Option one:

Option 2:

Option 3:
Removed the island rocks

 

[Corne]

Option 4:
Removed portion of front bridge

I like option 2

 

[Corne]

Im leaning towards 2 as well. Thanks Dian

Option 2. The little island create a better illusion of scale and 2nd focalpoints

i like option 3, option 2 is also very nice but the island is very close to front glass?

how is is your stacks?

 

[Corne]

how is is your stacks?

Not sure what you mean.

 

[RiaanP]

you mentioned the tank to be 45 high.

And the rocks stacks you made. What is their highest point?

 

[Corne]

Oh. Its 30cm at highest point for all the options. The box behind the rocks is exactly 45cm with its top flaps up for reference. I should be able ti do about 30% water change without uncovering rocks, depending on what goes on top of them.

I vote for 2. Like the height combined with some disjointed pieces of rock

@Corne What will you be using to cement/glue the rock work together?

 

[Bray]

Option 2 for me but maybe only the small scape on left side of tank I'll leave right side open no rocks as there is much less space

 

[Corne]

Cool. Thanks everyone for your responses.

What corals are you going to or wanting to keep? Maybe plan around that because lighting requirements differ. if you want SPS then most would be placed higher in the tank as their lighting requirements are higher that LPS or softies. Better to plan than to re-scape every now and then.

@qmsa i will be using stone fix think the make is aqua forest or something along those lines. Purple tub.
