Thank you, I wanted to go with a more minimalist look and not the typical rockwall or fruitstand, eventually all those rocks will be covered with SPS corals :)
 
I would prop the 2 pieces of rock on the right together to make a cave. Just my 2 cents.
 
Nice reef llama frag. I've heard they are pretty demanding.

Yes they're pretty demanding, strong lights, good flow and an established tank :p

I tried numerous scapes and this one was the winner :) I still have lots of LR for sale :worried:

No question corals will have room to grow.

Yes, I'll buy a few rare colonies instead of having lots of frags everywhere, for a more natural look :)
