Here are some tank pics, I’m looking for an open look that also goes higher only using the rocks I have now. Any suggestions? I also don’t wanna move too many rocks

Have you thought about creating an arch with the rocks you have?

Yeah, that’s actually kinda what I was thinking. I don’t know if this would work but what if I moved the front rock holding the hammer to the top right? That would create an arch. Also, wouldn’t an arch create less room for placing corals?
 
Sure, just make sure you have glue or epoxy, whatever you are use to using. Just a warning I've moved my rocks around in my tank and it is a pain in the tuches.
Can I use coral glue? Also I’m not excited to move the rocks, but I have too because they are too low right now. Thanks for all the help!
 
Did you glue your rocks together in the first place? If so I would use whatever you used there, if not I would use whatever you are use to using. The biggest thing with rocks I have found is they need time to bond and that can be hard in a tank. It's doable though. My suggestion would be to use what glue/epoxy/whatever you are use to using so their isn't a learning curve there, and go slow.

Right now none of my rocks are glued together so all I have is coral glue. To make it simpler I think I’m going to do the arch leaning to the right so I don’t have to move all of my rocks. Luckily most of my corals are still drags and haven’t grown into the rock yet.
