Can i get 210 aquascape critique?

Hey guys and gals after 3 long years of delays and lack of money and enthusiasm, I finally got my new 210 up and running. So what do you think about the rock work? I am trying to get a more 3D look with overhangs using some tonga branch. The nice thing is when you inter lock the rock it creates a lot of nice small perches for smaller frags.
Sorry about the crappy pics

Not to sure about this side of the tank. I had this large flat piece of shelf rock laying around and it interlocked into the base rock just perfect to form somewhat of a cantilever. I thought it just fit to good that way to not use it. I think once I get my monti caps mounted to it....it should look pretty good!?

Maybe that shelf rock can be placed on a column to enhance the look?

all of that is pretty close to the front glass panel, if you want to place something on the stand in front you're limited. have you considered breaking your rocks apart?

Everything looks good. Lots of gaps and space for waterflow. That large shelf rock in the right side corner is very distracting. Personally, I'd break it into two or three smaller pieces or get rid of it altogether.

Just make sure that everything locks together well and doesn't shift when you do maintenance and attaching corals. Also make sure you have enough room near the glass for cleaning and water flow.
