I like it. PLenty of spots for different lighting for corals. The shelves on the left are really cool. Looks like enough space all the way around for flow and easy access to the glass for cleaning. Nice work!

Thank you. That is what I was going for.
 
I love it too, but one thing to consider is how high the rocks stack compared to the water level and what type of corals you want up top.
 
I dig it too!
I'm pretty sure you knew it was awesome and just wanted to show off ;):D
Using acrylic rods on left island?
This my first aquascape. I was reading a lot. There is no rods. It's all self supported and stable. I made sure nothing moved. I even moved the table.

The highest point is going to be 9" below water level. Not sure what coral.

Looks great. I read that you didn't use rods but did you epoxy it? Lots of room for different corals. Caves for livestock and lots of swim room around the rock. You've done your homework. What size tank 180?
 
Just read through your build thread and I started following. I would use some epoxy or other reef safe glue on those rocks if you want to keep that exact layout. I've done so many layouts in my tank and had to dismantle it a few times thanks to ich. It doesn't matter how many pictures I take from every angle possible, it never goes back the same way. Crabs and other invertebrates are good at getting into crevices and moving anything not stable. This is only my opinion from my experience so far. I use the epoxy stick from petsmart. Cheap, easy to use. Gorilla glue gel works well too. By the way, good deal on the tank. :)
 
The one on the right island, that is all the way to the left side. The only one on the opposite side of the table on the right island. I think if you take that rock out it would separate the islands more and maybe make them pop a bit more. Just an option to try. Or more it very close to the front but still part of that island.
