Thanks r54. I'll work on busting them up!
Somehow I couldn't find your post though.

Howz about so it's not quite so horizontal and perhaps somewhat repetitive looking, you take say the horizontal brown rock towards the right that is acting like an arch, and move it towards the left somewhere... Would give you a small island of sorts on one end to break it up, and perhaps add just a bit more height on the left. ...or do same sort of thing but flipping the concept making the island on the left side?

Looking good!

Very nice, how did you get the rocks so flat?

Justin, this looks great man, I would kill for an archway like piece like that. All my rock hasn't arrived yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Macrorocks was good to me in rock selection.

This is easily my most hated part in any aquarium project. I just don't have the vision for it I guess.

Very much liking your scape. Will be even more awesome as some of that coral grows out.

I really like what you've done here.

 

[Atomic081]

My 225, not done yet, but its close. Any sugestions?

Opinions?!?! I'm pretty happy with it. The next tank will definitely be 24" instead of 18"!

I like the minimalistic look, but it looks too symmetrical. Try to add some height to one side or the other.

Just wondering . . . are there any TOTMs that have rock showing?

...Not sure how you can achieve this look without aquascaping the rock to start!
