Help me pick my new aquascape!

[LinkinReef]

I'm setting up a new 50g cube and need help as to what looks better. Each aquascape has a top and front photo for different angle. I have 4 ideas so far. This will be a mostly sps tank with chalices and acans on the sandbed.

Option A:




Option B





Option C





Option D

B or D I think look best

 

[airplanes1016]

IMO I like c the best. All look good. Like that you mocked it up.

 

[TommyP]

I like D because it's kind of like 2 separate islands. I like that view.

 

[Devaji108]

I also like C but would ad a small rock to the left side to balance the front out.
GL!

 

[Reefer54]

D, but move the island to the front (closest) left corner (as you look in the tank), not all the way in the corner, just opposite of the way it is...

Thanks guys. Keep them opinions coming! Definitely open to suggestions.

So far it seems C and D are the contenders. I do like the 2 island look and the C option with an extra island on the front left side seems like a good idea as well.

What if I were to use C and the island on the back, how about I make another raised island smaller than the main one but bigger than the on the photo?

Any option but A would look good. Imo option d would have more depth when your corals grow in.

D, but move the island to the front (closest) left corner (as you look in the tank), not all the way in the corner, just opposite of the way it is...

I totally agree with the above statement. But I think that C would also look good with an Island rock like in D but as said above towards the front left side of the tank. Otherwise they all look good!

Ok, I got one more option based on some ideas I got from you guys.

Option E

 

[Wrench]

Definitely E. Yes, E. Definitely.

 

[Octobot]

E e e e e

 

[igot2gats]

E - FTW. I love the arch as well.

 

[Codski]

Option E is really cool. I may steal that for part of my tank..

I love the arch and the two little islands. PPSSSSSTTT! Go with E!

 

[Skrilla]

E for sure

 

[LinkinReef]

Seems we have a winner with E! The fiancee just gave the seal of approval on that one as well :lolspin:

 

[LinkinReef]

Would it really be necessary to cook this rock since it's been dry and haven't touched any water?

 

[Denver_Keeper]

D give you more room at the top for light loving corals, and the small offset island give visual interest to the sandbed.

 

[imsalty]

Eeee

 

[Duvallj]

Awe, another choice.

E definitely looks interesting. With that island you could house more aggressive corals yet keep them isolated. In the cube after the rock has been populated I think it would make for a wonderful display.

Either way D & E look pretty good.
