I have like 4 rocks left, any critiques would be greatly appreciated before I call it done. Thanks

It’s perfect! Do not change a single thing!!!
 
It’s not the kind of scape I like, I’m not a fan of unnatural looking arches (especially multiples). But I know the kind of aesthetic your going for, and I think you’ve achieved it.
 
I think it looks good. Once your corals grow out, it will partially block some arches and will create a nice depth feeling.

It does look a bit tall, so I hope you have a taller tank. I don't like to run rock greater than 2/3 the height of the tank because then coral run out of vertical growth room real quick unless your planning on mostly shorter corals like zoas and LPS
 
That looks pretty neat. You can leave it like that and use the other rocks as islands for corals.
Thanks, gotta see if I have the room the cardboard is nice as a template but until everything is in the tank I guess I won’t know.

20” tank tallest point I have is 14”
 
What type of fish are you planing on having.

Not too sure yet but likely most of the following

2 clowns
Sand sifting goby
Royal gramma
2 different wrasses
Flame angel
Yellow tang

You can try to cut them into flat shapes, this would allow you to have a little "platform" for a zoa garden. This is just one idea of course
 
Looks good, plenty of caves and arches for the fish to hide and corals to be placed.
 
Looks great - make sure you can get to the sides for cleaning the glass and reducing dead spots of flow. If the rock has 2” on each side from top to bottom you’ll limit frustration. Otherwise, call it good!
 
5 STARS!!!!! Looks like a lot of 3D structuring and I am sure everyone here including myself are excited to see what corals you will use.
 
Transferred to tank! Not too happy with how close it is to glass but if I push closer to overflow I should be okay. I think my mistake was not making the cardboard cutout the dimensions inside the glass tank.

One thing that I think would make it much more dynamic is if one or two of the arches didn’t actually connect. Having most of the arch but not having it connect on one side looks more interesting, IMO.

Mine already set up similar

Nice swim holes and great for flow, yours are slightly angled, I kept mine at the back straight for flow as it's hard to reach
