aquascaping suggestions

Here is a picture of my most recent aquascaping.
I am going to be covering the facial stone/support with corals, but I was wondering what everyone thought or what they would do to change it?

It's hard to tell by the way the picture is taken. I keep trying to look at it sideways lol !

If your going to have fish in there....Make sure you have lots of holes & lots of caves. This is where the fish will go to sleep & feel safe.

I would personally add more live rock to give it a fuller look.

Hello all, I'm going to tag along as I am currently in the aquascaping design phase (pretty impressive huh) of my 54 corner and am having problems with the shape.

Reeferhabit I'm thinking about putting most of my LR in my sump and fuge and using the egg crate, rock rubble, foam approach for the dt. My thought is that this will give me more flexibility/control over the look of the dt.

I look forward to seeing what you decide.

P.S. do you just have the 1 powerhead for water movement? I was planing on 2 K3's.

esquare- I do only have one powerhead and it is a maxi900 with the Mod. I have so much flow coming from my return pump that I took out my other Maxi.

I do plan on adding some more LR, probably some branch LR, more expensive but will give me more variety.
