Default 2ft cube journal

Hi all,
In the progress of setting up a 2ft cube fowlr tank.
The hardscape mainly using tonga rocks, bare bottom setup.
Currently tank still filled with freshwater.
Still do not have any fish list in mind.
Please advise on which one do you think is better.
Picture A: More room for fish to swim.

Picture B: Addtional tonga rocks branch on bottom left.

B. more territory-marking options, more shelter overall. what fish do you expect to keep in a 2' cube that needs a lot of swimming room anyway? mrnyunus's stock ideas are good ones.

great looking tank! option C eh? and i didnt think you could improve on B.
also it's always good to see a reefer being responsibly patient with their aquarium
why have you decided to go substrate-less?

Based on your 1st post that you filled the tank with freshwater with the Tonga rocks dont make marine fishkeeping sense. Reason being the Tonga rocks had been "killed" by the freshwater and it takes quite sometime (if ever) to restore it back to "live" conditions whith coraline.

Ar....yeah option C.
Decided on bare bottom mainly for easy maintenance....Also worry about if too many fish waste/poo emerge inside the sand bed might cause ammonia spike in future.

Those tonga rocks are all dead rocks when i purchase them.
The 1st post i mentioned using fresh water because it still under scaping stage.
