Looks good as it is .. but you could always try making islands maybe 2 ... this way it will also give you more height .. plus more swim room for your fish .. here’s a video of mine just for a different look

im just overthinking this aquascaping and im making it harder then it looks, like i don't even know where to begin with creating an island. Feel like the pieces i have are useless lol

Masonary bit, fiberglass driveway marker cut into rods. Stack the rocks the way you want them. Drill holes in each rock and use the fiberglass rod to connect them.

Like your rock pieces and am thinking that you might want to make one side higher than other to draw attention to it and give a sense of dimension, or use the two island design. When all your rocks are about the same height nothing really stands out or appears unique. I'd also consider the kinds of coral you'll want and the amount of light and flow they'll need because that will also help determine the optimum (if there is such a thing) layout.
Keep moving things around; all of a sudden you'll move back a little and say, That looks pretty good."

Looking at your photo I would take the stones out of the middle of your rockwork now that will create two islands almost straight away .. then just try too make the islands interesting formation
You can see from my pics how I started mine .. and the last pic is a reef Pilar I glued last week from extra rock I had added .. how you start now is not necessarily how it will end after 1 year it changes all the time really ..

I’m going through the same thing right now. I’m struggling to get an arch to look the way I want. Had to take a break earlier, about to go back to it. I’ll put a picture up when I’m done, if that ever happens
Worst part is, I had it exactly where I wanted. Noticed a week or so ago I had some ich on my coral beauty, and after trying for several days to get the fish out without removing rock, the inevitable happened. I’m now on day 3 of trying to get it all back in there to my liking

I have that same thermometer in mine lol. Just finished what feels like my 50000th attempt at my first aquascape. I've finally got it close to where I want it. I think im just going to completely remove the rock on the top right completely. I like everything else.
