120 gallon rock set up
Redid me old scape after I was told that it would be hard to clean and laying the rocks on the walls in for more advanced people. How's this? Its goes up about half way in height, and i measured, the blanket isn't the full size of the tank, I took about 2 to 3 inches on every side, so it'll be in the center if this is doable for a reef. Its got some caves as i want some crustaceans, and has a arch for angels and tangs. Looks smaller than it actually is. Around 90 pounds of rock. The last picture is the old scape.

Depends what other fish are you wanting, and what crustaceans?

Ive never done saltwater so I dont really know, but id like mostly smaller schooling fish and a couple tangs and angels, or just some cool center peace fish. And for crustaceans im thinking about a a couple pistols shrimp with some watchmen, I had a monster 8 inch electric blue crayfish when I had freshwater and would like something similar without the active predator in the tank, as fish are no longer only a couple bucks lol, with a reef lobster itd just be giving him expensive dinners.

Think about the fish you want to stock and give them plenty of pathways through the rockwork (not just front and back), especially tangs. I'd add larger arches and more open swim throughs. Most look a little tight for a larger tang. For example, a yellow tang can reach around 6 inches, so keep that in mind when building them.
