Hello all. Looking for feedback on my aquascape. 47x19.5x22 tank

-Goal is mixed reef
-rock stands about 8-9” from the water line (too close?)

Looks great! Couple of thoughts from experience:

- I try to keep a couple of inches between rock and glass (rocks to the right of the image look pretty close to glass) for ease of cleaning
- Overtime I realized I wanted to keep things on the sand bed - trachy coral, a clam, plate coral, feather duster, etc. and wished that I had more room on the sand itself. Something to think about :)
 
Looks good! Maybe separate the rocks a little to make room for fish to hide?
Thanks! It’d hard to tell but there are quite a few nooks and crannies in there. I did however stumble upon HNSA, so I think I’m going to keep the same idea, but help increase flow and hidey holes.

Thanks for the reply. I agree that there not much room for sand dwellers. Hopefully incorporating more of a HNSA approach will open things up a little bit.
