SCAPING INPUT NEEDED!

Honestly, I don't think 8" to the surface is enough space for SPS such as stags.
If its going to be a tabling acro tank, then things change and the rock can be higher.
I'm all for the rock being no higher than the mid-point and let the SPS go nuts

BTW, great to meet you tonight Dog

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the great ideas. I spent most of the afternoon Friday cutting, and chipping, and re-arranging.
Here are a few crappy phone pic examples:







This last one appeals to me the most. I must have tried more than a dozen combinations.
I think I will fill in a few gaps with fresh live rock, but for now I think this will make for a good base.



I don't have any pukani left, but I do have approx. 30lbs of branch left over (if anyone wants some branch let me know, lol).

Thanks Greg for the invite and the tour. Sorry I kept you up late stalling your WC!

Big improvement! I like your last one best, but the rock in the middle needs to be 1/3 to 1/2 the size that it is imo - really low prolife, just barely sticking up above the sand (if you're using sand). It will be like an island of Zoas or maybe an incrusting Monti if you want all SPS.

I like picture 3's positioning and OMG Warren is that water I see in the last picture, you can add live rock as required to fill gaps. Looks good.
