Well, my tank is cycled....LOVED my rockwork but was worried because I thought, I have no real openings for my fish to swim over well, so ugh.....got in and moved a few simple pieces on top...what do you think, does this look ok? Pic is here of old way and then new way....

i like both but to me the original way looks better. more of a natural reef flow to it. you will be surprised at where a fish can swim. to me it looks like there are lots of places in the original way. our fish will go in at one part of the rockwork and come out in TONS of different places. in most cases i dont even know how they got there lol

I loved the first way but I want to have 2 tangs in this tank, and I thought, I know that once they get quite a bit larger we will have to change tanks, but don't you think this gives them more room for a while? just a thought...

nope i really dont think you had a problem in the first design.
the swimming room was in a long line in front of and behind the rocks.
like i said i like both but i dont think the second way will be "better" as far as swimming goes

I personally like your old aquascaping. But My own tank has a mountain look to it.
Both are very nice- I say make it how you like. It is water bonsai. LOL
It should be what you think the perfect reef looks like.

Ok All, my hubby is about ready to throw me out(just kidding) if we have to move anymore rock!! I kept the left side the same but the right side we made the hole much bigger for tangs. Does this look ok now? honest opinion!!!
