Was given a fluvial evo 13.5. Excited to start my first saltwater tank. I'm hoping to keep corals, a pair of clownfish, and a watchman goby and pistol shrimp. Apologies for the bad picture, but looking for some opinions on aquascaping. I have several pieces of rock I got as leftovers from a colleagues aquascape that are all relatively chunky and don't stack all that naturally. Is this too much rock? Should I ditch the arch? I want to have plenty of spots to attach coral but don't want the tank to be too rocky.

Welcome and congrats on the new system!

I think the arch looks nice, but perhaps use some smaller chunks to create some legitimate caves and alcoves if you plan to have fish and motile inverts, so they have a place to hide out of sight if they wish. Somewhat counterintuitively, if your creatures have somewhere to hide out of sight, they will spend more time in the open knowing they can hide if needed.
