    Personally I like a lot of caves and swim throughs, along with shelfs for coral placement. Here is mine when i just set up the tank and then now with lots of coral :)

    Here's my wall. I love it. Many places for fish to hide and swim through and several arches as well. I even put in 6 shelves for future corals once the tank is mature. The photo may seem a little blurry but there is a little algae bloom going on at the moment.

    Those are some very awesome scapes. DrewSk I like the way your tank does not look over crowded and it still has a lot of rock in it. I like the sand in yours Marty it looks like a natural sand bed with the dips and rises.

    I was pretty lucky with my aquascaping. I have several nice deep caves and some nice overhangs. When I put it together my tank was so cloudy from newly added sand I couldn't see anything. I put it together by feel.

    reefnjeff, Your aquascape looks cool. Is the rock leaning against the back glass any?

    Thanks and one of the highest rocks to the right is on the glass, it kind of fell over and I left it where it stopped :D

    reefnjeff, I love your scape! Perhaps it's better to do by feel than sight :)
