Aquascaping, Show your Skills...

Can someone give me some input on my 180 I just set up. I followed all 32 pages, and did my aquascaping today, but not happy with it. I drilled 1/2" acrylic rods, foam., and epoxy, but I'm going to redo it again

I think my tank for a 180 looks allot smaller now, with 120 lbs of rock in the DT

Open for suggestions from the pro's on here, thanks

to be honest it looks a little too jagged and not very flowing, now this is my preference and everyone has their own taste. For me i wanted to displace as little water as possible so instead of having giant base rock at the bottom, i used the smaller rock to support the bigger rocks above. That being said, i think the first rock in your second formation should be turned upside down and make it look like an ice cream cone, then you will not only see your water level drop but you will also have a nice wide space to mount corals. Start with that and i think you will start to see what i am talking about.

I appreciate it. What about breaking it up.instrad of trying to make the whole thing caves as well .
I like the " less is more look " if you know what I mean

If you are planning on keeping corals think about different levels for them and try to make the caves less trench like.
