Thoughts on my new scape? Using all of my tonga

[Cliving1]

So....what does everyone think? The leather dead center is brand new (2 days) and has not picked itself up yet. The only thing I might change (without suggestions which I am looking for) is the plate on the top right. Let me know what you like and dont like!

That's super cool! I've always wanted to use a lot of tonga but I'm just concerned about coral placement. Looks like you pulled it off really nicely

 

[Cliving1]

Thanks! I appreciate it! For the style of rocks that I have they are wide and can support corals. The plugs though have been a challenge I admit.. I have like 30 or more lbs I tried to mimic a blooming flower.

 

[jraker]

I like it.

 

[Cliving1]

Thanks jraker! do you have any suggestions? I need more coral...

 

[Bluefish9]

I like it! Always kinda liked the "centerpiece" or island look. Planning something similar on my new build.

I was nervous there would not be a lot of space for the fish to sleep so thats why in the back center I kind of bundled them there for some cavework.

I like it too.
suggestions maybe place a small rock to the right for faster growing corals?
if your conceded about the plate rock maybe break it up and JB weld it to some end of the branch?
all in all I do like just toughing out suggestions...

 

[nereefpat]

Those Tonga branches will look cool covered with zoas.

 

[Cliving1]

Interesting zoas might not be a bad idea...

Thanks devaji! Alwayd open to suggestions here. Thats a good point I do have some that could grow quick and then I could relocate them.

I like it also. The large skeleton of the plating acro? Where did you get that?
If it's a fresh Skelton it might want to grow algae easily

 

[Cliving1]

Yeah it is. Its a sweet plate. I got it grom BRS eith the dry package. I actually got some of this tonga as well geom there.
