New aquascape, what do you think?

[ACBlinky]

I had to move a lot of my LR last night to catch my halfblack angel (he was terrorizing the rest of the fish and I opted to take him back to the LFS), and I used the opportunity to change the rockwork a bit. I left the bottom rocks in place because the gobies have built caves and I also didn't want to disturb the sand, but I think I managed to improve things a bit.

Thanks for looking, feel free to let me know what you think

The new aquascape looks nice, but the original was more natural from my years experience of diving.

What makes you happiest is best.

Thanks for the kind words
I liked it before, but had a comment that it was a bit 'stuffy' and after watching the fish wiggle through small caves and getting some dead spots where detritus built up I'm inclined to agree.
The fish seem to be enjoying this formation more, constantly swimming in and out of the caves, and I think the circulation is better all around. All in all it's not a huge change but I'm much happier with it this way

WAY BETTER!!!! I like paths that fish can swim through. I don't like rock piles

I like open setups, so I like your newest aquascaping.

Really nice, I especially like the look of the caves now.

I like the more open look . gives the fish more places to hide out and swim around in

 

[Cutiewitbooty]

yeah i really like your new one better too

 

[ACBlinky]

Thank you all so much .
It wasn't fun taking everything out and then rebuilding it, but I'm SO glad I did. The fish really seem to enjoy the caves and it looks more purposeful than before.

I like the more open look too. you are able to see more.
