I spent this afternoon with my hands in the tank, rearranging and replacing powerheads and messing with the rockwork a little bit. Here's what I wound up with:
I replaced the large flat rock that was connecting the far left and middle columns with something that was a little more visually interesting, a piece of lace rock that has a million nooks and crannies. The thing is...I'm still not sure I like it, or if I should just remove it completely. Do you think the left hand side looks too crowded? It's hard to tell since that's the dark side of the tank, but I'll reconsider when the main lights are in place.
I also replaced the constant-on powerheads with those two Evo's I was talking about, and wired all 4 onto the wavemaker. I also moved them slightly so they're almost all invisible - the two on the left are still behind the rockwork as before, and I hid the one in the middle so it's peeking out behind the upper middle column. The only really obvious one is that 1400gph pump on the right, but I wanted to make sure it was shooting a clear flow across the tank there...and it doesn't look too terrible anyway. Keep yer fingers crossed, I think this might have solved the sand issue as well.
I couldn't just leave that huge flat rock behind, so I relegated it to the sump for now. It will still make a fantastic piece of filtering rock in the future, no reason to waste it.
You wanna hate me?
Personally I see what your doing here but for some reason to me I feel it;s off balance. Too much on the left side and little on the right.
Now, once it gets some corals on there I'm sure it will look amazing, naked rock is never appealing.
I will have to stare at it for a few to get the mojo going.
I do LOVE what you did with the powerheads though, your a genius!!
