Looking good! Rockscape has lots of flat surfaces for coral placement. Are you going BB or sand?

I was almost going to go BB but I want sand sifters so added sand. Guess I didn’t need the black bottom after all lol. Does this look like too much? Not too late to take some out

I’ve been playing around with the 4 structures and I think this is my final placement. Leaves me a perimeter around scale to clean panels. Some space in the back to fill in with live rock. Space in the front to put some sand corals. Definitely want a Zoa rock on the front right side of the tank. If there’s anything I could change about this scape is I would’ve made the tree structure on the right a couple inches shorter. It’s too close to the RFG nozzle and probably going to get some pretty high PAR there. Maybe I’ll end up starting some SPS and placing it there.

Did you plan on drilling holes for coral placement or using frag plug seats?

I started drilling holes on the smaller structure using a masonry bit and I got two done and on the 3rd one the shelf rock split in half. So not attempting to do any more. Luckily I glued it back with superglue and grounded up bits of rock so you can’t tell but I don’t want to risk anymore. The first two I made actually came out pretty clean. Going to go with the frag plug seats.

Who’s making your rock? Maybe you could ask if they can drill it for you? I’m sure that’ll add a good amount to the cost though

Michael is making it for me as well. I plan on using frag seats. I ordered the frag seats today and should be arriving by next week.
