Enough to create multiple hiding caves for your fish. I see swim through tunnels in your scape but no real places for fish to sleep at night. I have 12 fish in a 65g. When lights go out, I can't see a single fish in the tank. They are completely hidden inside caves while lights are out.

I would work on combining the 4 separate structures into 2 more prominent structures with actual caves. Then add some rock islands in open space sand. A few pieces of real live wet ocean rock with turbo start your biome. Here is mine that is basically 2 separate rock structures with an arch connecting them.

I was able to come up with this for the right side, i dunno about the left side. I dont want to fill up the entire tank with rock, leaving some open space. Open for sugestions

Can you show a full tank shot? You have to also provide areas and visualize the types of corals you want if it's going to be a reef tank.
