Here is a front shot:
Nice - looks very good! I do have a couple questions: What size is the tank and what kind of powerheads are those? Also, whats the stringy stuff on your back wall? What is the coral that's on the bottom front & center - it looks like a pefect mushroom. Lastly, what is the yellow thing on the right side?

I personally might take the three pieces on the right and go bigger to smaller (from the left to right). Probably add another size piece in between the three right pieces as well. Take it and go from the right-center over. It may not be the look youre looking for as i have a difficult time with geometric/spacial/shape/building ANYTHING and i sure dont have a creative bone in my body but just figured i would share what i saw as i felt this was a nice simplistic scape which i enjoy. I might also turn the left piece just a tad and idk how much i would rely on that pebble to support that big rock when you get snails in there...especially if you go with turbos. Just another thought. I def like what youre working with and wish i had realized the way that scaping really makes the tank before i just threw all my rock in. Mine looks super sucky! Take a look about 10 posts back if you dont mind!

I already tweaked it half a dozen time. I turned the right rock so it makes a shelf and a cave instead of a chair. I pulled the tall left piece away from the back wall and rotated it about 10* counter clockwise. Once I'm happy with it everything gets epoxy and pvc footings.

Still need some more rock so it will change a little.
Thnx, the tank is a 270L (about 72 gallons) cube with 65cm side length. The powerhead that's left in the picture is a 6095 Tunze which is supported by a 6045 Tunze.
The brown stuff on the back wall are algeas that showed up after the moving when everything got a bit mixed up. Hope they disappear soon again.
The coral in the middle is a brain coral. I really hope, that I can grow it into that dome shape that you see in the wild sometimes. It was completely flat when I got it.
The yellow coral in the picture is in reality orange and a plate coral
the colors are a bit off, it's a phone picture.

... where is that beautiful rock on the right behind the yellow tang from? It looks like part of a big fossilized tree trunk or something. Amazing.

Looks like a gigas clam shell to me...
I decided to try to go a bit more minimal. I have a 24" X 24" X 26" cube so I am a bit limited on how to arrange the rock. I removed 25 lbs of rock and redid my rock and corals. It was a bit tricky to keep enough space for the corals. Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks. After a while I just get a mental block. I had pegged my rock with acrylic rods before. The rock was pretty dominant in the tank. I wanted corals to more of a focus
