How does this look. Will be keeping clownfish, goby, pistol shrimp, fore shrimp, hermit crabs, tuxedo urchin.

Would love any and all tips.

Looks solid man! I am a huge fan of starting with dry rock. Lesses the chance of bringing in nastys. I might try to put a few more caves for your critters to move in and around. Are you using any sort of adhesive?

Yes i will be using super glue.

Cool. Then you can defintely space it out if that is the look you'd like to go for. I like to put a big arch going toward the front, but that's just personal taste

Might want to knock off a little piece of the rock on the right side (pic looking down from the top).

Looks like it is touching/almost touching the glass? Will be hard to scrape/clean once you get algae growing in your tank. I did that on my first tank years ago and always hated the nasty corner I couldn't clean!

Looks good but agree to keeping more space all around for glass cleaning. Try rotating it clockwise and pull the point on the right towards the front corner a bit.

Yep, same as above. Not enough room for coral on sides and will make access for cleaning difficult.

This is what i ended at. Has been nice hood swimming area and coral area gives a sense of height.
