I like the old, but if your planning on adding sps coral, your new layout will serve you well.
+1 with this...i like the old, only slightly but have to say im more towards the old as it is fuller with corals...once the SPS comes on board it will really look a lot better :)

I dont think I have the experience for SPS corals. I believe they are really hard to keep and I have only been doing this for 10 months. I thought they needed much better lighting too ?
I am going to change the left had side again as hubby REALLY doesn't like it at all. I just hope I can put it back close to how it was. lol

If the last photo attached (that isn't inserted into your post) is the newest scape then I love it - really opens it up and makes the tank look way bigger. Plus loads of room for corals and stuff.

Your the first person to like it. Thank you. Yes the last photo is the end result. Left side changed.

I much prefer the old BUT I think the new scape will look better when mature than the old one would have. By mature I mean corals grown out, added, etc.
