I recently set up my 70g reef and just no matter what I do cannot get the rock work to look good. I have a taller piece epoxied together on the left side which I think came out "ok".
Can someone look at the pic and give some solid advice? Also most corals (except for the anemones and the leather coral) can be moved and aren't epoxied to rocks. Feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

Yea it's all about preference so whatever anyone says just keep it in mind but at the end of the day you are the one to look at the tank everyday.

I personally love a lot of dryrock in my tank, and from the rock I built a bunch of cool caves and small holes so the fish can explore and pop up anywhere and everywhere.

So my opinion is to get a lot more cool looking dry rock and you can even shelve the rocks so you can position corals from top to medium and low for different lighting for all the coral needs. But like I said I myself love a lot of rocks to Aquascape with

Also YouTube has some really cool info about a bunch of different things you can do with Aqua scapeing! I watched a few different videos and I saw one I liked and put my own twist on it cause all rocks come in different sizes and shapes

Looks good to me. When corals grow in you'll appreciate the room. If you look in that thread you'll see before and after pictures and see what I mean. That's what I did with mine.

Should I try moving the taller pillar to the middle to somewhat hide the overflow per say? Or is it best to leave that area lower and the two sides higher?

Has anyone used the back or overflow to lean rocks agains to be able to stack up? Good or bad idea? Thinking it could be bad if even needed to clean or scrub the back glass or overflow?
