So today i added some more live rock,re arranged it and added a feather duster.Not sure if I'm happy with the aquascape,probably will change it 10 more times lol.The only thing is it just looks so bland to me,what can i do to add some more color to this tank?

Give it time and the rocks will be covered in coraline algae and be colorful. Keep phosphates low and it will happen. Don't use purple up or any of those products are they don't actually do anything for you.

I like your rockscape! It's kind of a cross between a wall and an island. If the tank is old enough (cycled?) add some corals, sit back and wait 6-12 months and you'll have lots of color.
