i try to avoid gluing and use acrylic rods and drilled holes for assembly.
there will always be some silly reason you have to take apart the scape and remove something, find a fish, frag, etc
only comment is you may want white lights or move the light 1/4 from the front to prevent shading.

IMHO, there are too many different "types" of rock. I would remove the big lighter rock in the center all together (or use it as a partially buried base rock if you don't have access to anymore live rock). I would also remove the rock on the far right and maybe break it up and use it throughout the aquascape to bring continuity. I like the overall shape though....looks like for the most part everything is away from the glass to allow water movement and cleaning.

I don't use glue as well.
Would start using baseball and smaller pieces to fill in gaps.
Left to right looks good center definitely needs work.
Good luck

No glue fan here too. When you're doing the scape think about places to put corals. Are there enough spots? Are big sections being shaded? Are no sections being shaded?
Also, it looks like you put your rock on top of the sand. That's generally a no-no. The sand can shift and you don't want your entire scape to come crashing into the glass. I personally like your scape. I'd just remove that big round piece on top and be done with it.

I would move the big white, round rock also. Definitely dig that rock down to the bottom glass for more stability. If you ever get a goby that likes to dig in the sand, that whole pile of rocks will come tumbling down.

I say to myself, would the rocks look like this naturally? other wise it's all down to personal preference... Try to make it look seamless... Good luck with the new tank!
