Okay, I finally settled on a rock layout that I believe will serve as a good foundation for future coral, provides good hiding places for my fish, and also aesthetically pleasing (at least to me)
The first picture is how I had it before. I was attempting to go for that open lagoon look. I think it looked clean and simple, but maybe not so functional? All subsequent pictures after are what I have currently.
What made the aquascaping so difficult for this tank is that it is more tall than it is wide: 18x15x12 (H x W x D) - 14 gallon.
Comments and critiques, please! (even if you hate what i've done to the tank - maybe you might have suggestions on how I might be able to improve? I'm a humble dude)
Also, if you see the top of my tank, there's a custom PC fixture attached on the top which is only 18W x 2. I know this is not going to be enough if I'm going to attempt corals in this tank. I've been searching high and low for an alternative lighting solution; something i can mount on the frame of the tank (i don't want to hang). Help please!!! (I should've never taken the advice of my LFS... all i get is wrong advise, even down to the tank selection! but i'm stuck with it for now)
