Building my first aquascape of this size. I’m content with the 2 structures but feel like I’m missing something. Maybe a small structure in the middle?

I’ve attached 2 photos. One top view and one front view

I like the idea of having the two islands. I think it would look good if you could fit something in the front center of both of them as well.
 
Yeah I was thinking the same. We’ll see when I get the tank up soon.
 
There aren't really many places for fish to hide or sleep. NSA had it's five minutes of fame, but isn't a good fish habitat. I'd add a lot more structure. At night the only fish I can easily find is a banggai cardinal. The rest are hidden/sleeping in the rocks somewhere.
 
I dislike when people hate on NSA.

The fish will feel perfectly fine. They will make do with the rocks they have, and corals will grow in regardless which will naturally made the rockwork bulkier.

I wouldn’t put anything in the dead center, in fact, I wouldn’t change a thing with this scape.
 
I’ll add a small sculpture after the two main pieces are in the display. That way I can decide on where to place.

Even though I have a template laid out, it’s still hard for me to visualize the footprint of it all
