Pic 2 wood with Dutch style in between the branches will look great. Don't cut the wood. Use as it is. Pic 1, wood will restrict your water flow. Bad for the tank. I vote for pic 2 wood. Soil use should be adequate enough. 3-5 inch.

2, could maybe put the top part right into the back corner and have it come out sorta at an angle.

I prefer #2 myself. Manzanita looks great once plants start growing in/around it

No 1 is too far to the side. It should not be centered, but about 2/5 of the way.

I also prefer the manzanita. Be nice with more of it.

Both! I like a busy tank lol, trim the manzanita obv.

what is the piece in pic one?

 

[Seadon]

If I had to choose one or the other I would turn the stone in pic 1 sideways and build a hill of substrate around it and a few pockets of substrate on it and plant some stuff up on the rock to make a nice hillside effect...also what type of stone is it? Really cool

I think it's much more unique than the manzanita btw

I like both but if I must pick id do number 2.

Can't wait to see how you finished scape looks.

id pic two if it was a bit smaller/you had more pieces...kinda looks weird by itself

I agree, but i think it will look better filled in with plants.

I vote for pic two also. I would lay it down so some of the branches are laying on the substrate.

I like 1, just move a bit more toward the center. Where did you get that rock?

#2... If you attach moss to it, once it filled in, this would give any fish in the tank a great place to feel like they can hide and still be in plain site for you to view. Also, I would try to slope the substrate upwards in the back. May require half/full bag to do so.

#2 also gives you some natural separation for plants that you choose for a dutch inspired style tank.

 

[Seadon]

Also wondering what kind of substrate are you using...is that ADA?
