Reefomeez and his 120 "G"s

Rinsed my rock and moved it in today. I had already decided how I wanted it but, inevitably, once in the tank I started looking at things differently. I welcome opinions...
Original scape I had in mind.
Then I tried a second option.
But finally settled on the third.
My goal was to have that large column off center and creating a canyon with another piece, in this case a smaller column. The two pieces on the left create a cool slope from front to back and really gives the tank a dimension of depth. The little piece in the back I made by gluing pieces I broke off others. Got a little fish home out of it and I plan on gluing my gorgs to that. I left a lot of sand in front of that small piece for a clam garden. I have 3 nice ones already and am looking forward to adding more.

Looking good Omar, but I have to be honest... I don't like that tall piece. It is way too tall and mushrooms at the top which means it will shade any corals you put under it. It also looks like you will only have a couple inches from the water line so you might not be able to even put corals on top.
I think John had a similar situation and cut the rock so it wouldn't be so high. just MHO

You should be able to find them at a hardware store. I think Harbor Freight has some.
I appreciate the feedback even thought it's not necessarily what I was hoping to hear since I actually really like the size and shape. I wouldn't know how to cut this thing other than breaking it and then it would likely stand uneven. I noticed the mushroom shape too but with over 400 watts beaming down I figured there'd be enough light for LPS and zoas along the column and some sticks at the bottom edge of the mushroom. At that height is also hides the massive WP40 behind it.
Maybe I'll try breaking some of the pieces on top and gluing them to the bottom...there are some really nice flowerpot pieces up there. Any other ideas?

But I would fill it with water and setup ur light first and test it out how u like it, before u go chopping it up. It not a big deal to move it around and as a last resort to trim it, it just a lot harder to put back what u cut off. Lmk I'll bring the right tools for the job so u can do clean cuts if u choose to.
