    The aquascaping looks really good, all of those holes and caves in the rock offer plenty spaces for the fish and inverts to hide. The only thing I will say is that if you plan to add corals to the tank make sure you have ample ledges, crevices, outcroppings and so forth because you want to maximize the total surface area of your rock to allow maximum growth of the corals and not overcrowd since some corals are aggressive and so forth.

    You may already have a lot of outcroppings, I just can't tell from the pics. Other than that looks great.

    I like it. I'm thinking about changing my rock work too because my rock is stacked up pretty steep and I don't have as many places to places corals as I would like.
