Looking to get the maxspec gyroI would change the "island" in the center, looks too square. I would take the upper left most rock and put it on top to make that "island" higher than the rest. Do note that having the rock lean on the back wall will make cleaning back there difficult.
What power heads you planning on and where you going to place them?
As for the leaning on the glass no need to clean it as all my rock is up on it.Looking to get the maxspec gyro
Thanks for input

Aquascape is really a personal choice based on what appeals aesthetically. I have a tank this size and my corals overgrew it in less than 3 years. Note to self to use less rock next time.

Ditto on these comments100% some good advice there :thumbsup:
Aesthetics is a personal choice agree, but there is something to it as far as keeping from having dead spots(Yours is bunched close to glass in back which may be hard to get) and cleaning.
I also prefer it not to be all the same level, but again personal choice there.
Not much sand in the back.This
With your rocks against the back, it will be impossible to avoid fairly large areas of little to no flow. That will trap detritus and end up being an issue down the road.
Also - are your rocks on top of the sand? Stacking them the way you have them will create the possibility (probability?) of rock slides as fish and other critters dig down into the sand.
As well I'm placing 2 maxspec gyro on the back of the tank not the sides.Not much sand in the back.
Plus I really wiggled them around to get them down to glass.

Thanks as you can see from the side there is plenty of room for a large fish to swimAs a previous owner of a 7' long 400 G tank, I offer the following.
Are you planning on any large show piece fish? If so, then you may want to rethink the rock work. As they get larger, they need more room to swim.
Even smaller fish like angles and tangs like swimming room.
On my tank, I basically put a large island near each end, rising up to the top of the water. I then had a middle island of lower rock. Gave plenty of room for corals to grow and fish to swim. On the islands, think of incorporating "shelves" to place your corals on.
Good luck.
Thanks for the advice.Define large.
My male Naso tang I had in my reef was over 12" long not counting his 4" streamers. My majestic angel was pushing 7".
So depending on which fish you plan to have will dictiate how much room they need to swim and turn around.
My tank was 30" wide and I had at least 18" of room between the rock/corals and the front glass. But my tank was also 36" tall so that helped with swimming room.
