That is ne of the mistakes I made was live rock. At first I thought why do I need all this rock and left some out....now with corals I know I need and want more.Now have to cycle it before I can out it in.
 
looks good. I'd suggest some sort of backing on the tank, black or blue. To prevent seeing through it. And why is the heater in the tank and not the sump? I'd move it, it will look much better. IMO that is plenty of rock.
 
Thanks for the replies... the heater was in the main for the first few days. Now it has been moved to the sump and there it stays :)
I am planning on an SPS dominant reef. Regarding the extra rock, I have already added some. Here is a pic with the final aquascape. Total real reef rock approx 30kg
