I need artistic opinions.

Here is what I have. Tell me what you think.

Should I bust up the big rocks and rework it?
How do people make over hangs? Do they use glue?

I find that if you try to hard to set rocks a certain way it almost always looks way too man made. Most often you get a really natural look when you let the rocks sit as if it looks like they were dumped out in a random way. You can always drill and stack the rocks with a masonry bit and acrylic rods or pvc tubing to make overhangs and such. Masonry bits of different sizes work great to add smaller caves in the large rocks as well. Just some ideas.

a full tank shot would be good

but I like what I see
I do not feel that any of the rocks you have are oversized
I assume you will want corals? in which case having some large surface areas is a benefit
trying to locate corals on piles of smaller rocks is a PITA , IME

overhangs can be made using reef putty in combination with finding the rocks balance point (centre of gravity) if the rock is uniform in terms of weight distribution you need more putty and a heavy rock on top of the side that is not the overhanging

if the rock is heavier at one end, build up on the heavy end and leave the lighter end as the overhang . often in this scenario, it can often be secured with minimal putty, and smaller rocks above it to anchor it as putty sets
