    I really like the right side and like the left side better after you changed things around. But I still don't like the middle with the branch just laying across the middle, it doesn't look natural IMO, it looks like it was forced there or put there b/c you had not other place for it. Maybe just put it in your sump and see how it looks.

    thats exactly what happened lol. i had no other place for it so i just put it there.
    cant really put it in my sump, wont really fit.. If i take the branch i would have to take the rock thats sitting on it on the left side ( can you see it?) and wouldnt know where to put it. although i thought about putting it flat on the top left side.

    where do you think the branch might look good? or just take it out completely or place it where it cant be seen?

    and the left side, is it great looking? good? or still bad but better?
    ( honest).. i can still re do it.. i want to get it right.

    If it were me, I would probably just take the branch out or stick it where you can't see it. I really haven't seen a setup using branch rock that I liked. It's really hard to put coral on and you can't really use it for structural support either.

    I think the left side is good, the only thing I would do is put the rock in the center that is elevated onto the sand bed and use the support it had someplace else or get rid of it. Keep in mind rock work is one of the most subjective things in this hobby. If you like it, that's all that matters.

    You did a great job! I think less rock was a good idea- it looks less cluttered in the tank. Plus, I think the fish will enjoy having more open spaces to swim through and hide in.

    I like it. The only thing I would do is maybe add a little height (like up?) if anything Wesho. I'd also do something with that "hip bone femur & socket" looking thing in the center ;D. It seems to take away a little from the rest....maybe a thicker branch connecting the 2?
    Your fish look very happy too. :thumb_up:

    and on sad news... my Copper band Butterfly was dead this morning... Maybe the sand storm produced by me moving the rocks did something to it.. although it did eat right after i was done moving the rocks..
