I think it's beauty full the way it is just give it time to fill in.
 
Tank looks great man. I went through the same issue myself and i did redo the rock work and made it where there were voids where i could get better flow. I was having trouble with nitrates and i do beleive it was caused by having rockwork bunched together and water couldn't flow through it causing dead spots. Since i redid it i have had no problems since. It is hard to aquascape rockwork to ones liking you just have to do what you like and go with it.

I do have open spaces which is great plus the bar in the top right is a spray bar with a bunch of holes in it spraying down the back..Theres a huge space in the back and sides where the sailfin swims and hides out..IDK if its just I want to do something with the tank since Im always messing with something But Thanks for kind words mike007..
 
I also think your tank looks great and just needs some time to fill in.
 
I've seen a lot of tanks with the rock wall look. Mine actuall looks a lot like this. Is yours a 90 gal? Looks like mine. The only thing is it looks like the two rather large tangs are going to outgrow the tank very soon. rescaping the tank with less rock and more open space would probably make the fish happier. Other than that it looks like you are off to a great start for the coral . It will grow and fill in nicely.

Its a 120 24 inch deep which im about to take the blue hippo out cause he is about the dumbest fish in the sea.He/she is so scared of anyone and had her bout a year and still not use to me,She always breaks my coral when she gets scared and swims really fast..Now my Sailfin.Had her 3 years..shes my baby hate to get rid of her ,probably within a year well maybe a year i will up grade to a 220-250 Im really wanting a Cube tank 48x48x36 deep but cant find one...They do have good amount of room to swim but i think the 48 inch is whats hurting me for them to have enough room i really need 6 foot to 8 foot tank..I hope your right waiting for corals to grow can be kinda boring lol
