Well, my aquascape kit from Marcorocks.com came in today, so it's time to start playing with rocks. :D

What kind of aquascapes do you guys recommend for a cube (24"w x 24"l x 20"t)? I've been looking at some different scapes for ideas, but still not sure. I've thought about doing a bonsai type structure (I love the hanging shelf look) or arches...or a combination of the 2. My plans definitely include:

1) plenty of open water space
2) minimal rock on the sand bed
3) SPS dominant tank with some LPS thrown in for good measure.

Thoughts?

Btw, I should probably mention that I have around 400 lb. Of rock set aside for a large future build, so I have plenty of shapes to play with. ;)

This was something I wanted to do with my old 50g cube to give it some perception of depth...



Of course, it never turned out that way. lol I hated scaping my 50g cube because of the lack of length, so I stuck to the whole central cave sort of scape/pile of rocks. Check out google images for some ideas on scaping.
