Selling the house tank build?

What are you thinking for a scape? The overall shape?

Had rock sitting in a brute for so long and couldn’t remember what I had. But there it is, let me know what you think man. Too much rock?

I like the valley you made though the middle.
The acro skeleton is growing on me.
The whole scape seems like you can put frags anywhere

I really thought hard about the acro skeleton but decided to go with it to provide a “cave” like feature for the fish to hide in. In the back by the overflow on the right there’s a grayish rock. I think I’m going to removed that for lower light sps.

Everyone has their own take on what appeals to them for a rock scape. I tend to be on the more minimal side where I don’t like more than 1/3 of the viewing area to be filled with rock. Some fill theirs literally to the top with a big pile of rocks.

Here’s the rock scape please feel free to critique it!! Brutal honesty!!

As someone who is currently trying to scape I feel your pain.

the middle branch looks off to me, maybe it is too "contrived" or or IDK I would think if that was getting pummeled by waves all day would it still be perfectly horizontal? It is a great rock that you could use to add more caves away from the center of the tank.
I personally love the coral skelly, you could break it into two or 3 pieces to help tie all 3 rock types together.
(not sure if the lone rock in pic 3 fell or is intentionally an island)
if it is an intentional island do you have a piece that is less "blobish?" something to help tie in the branches would be nice, thinking skinny and vertical.
Really like the overhang you have in the upside down pic!

keep up the work and the pics!

Thank you, That was exactly what I was asking for. I think you’ve changed my mind on not removing the acro skeleton. As for the middle branch I know it looks crappy now but I’m really hoping down the road with corals growing on it it will look really bad ass. The pic with the rock over hang, those rock weren’t used and are for sale haha.
