More rock.. create some nice caves and ledges so you can add more frags and corals later on down the line!! Coming along great!

Agree, first step is to get more rock. Cheapest would be dry rock. Reef Cleaners has pretty good dry rock that can be added to an established aquarium without any problems.
Actually, first take off all the stuff you have on top of the tank. It draws your attention away from the tank.

Now's the time to look at pictures of other reef tanks and find elements you like. Then recreate them in your tank. Not a fan of just throwing a bunch of rock in and then trying to rearrange it so it looks better. If it helps draw it out on paper first until you like the look.

Your rock work looks fine!!! As Harld Green said look at pics. Do you like LPS or SPS tanks? One thing to keep in mind When your tank peramiters are fine, corals never stop growing. Personally I like less rock that are pinned and cemented. Like the SPS bonsai look.
