My first reef tank

IMO you have too much rock, but that's just my preference. I like a minimalist look. You could try making two separate structures, one bigger than the other.
Check this article on aquascaping

thank you! i think i have too much rock as well but was going to let it cycle and turn live before i take it out? not sure??

i was planning to take out 2 pieces from the middle so it turns into 2 separate structures like you mentioned.

the link you provided didnt work can you re post?

Relocated my reactor from inside the stand to outside. Ran out of room.
