Reef Setup Suggestions

Hey this is my first time setting up a reef, looking for advice.

A few more pics in different angles?

Currently it looks very bottom heavy and a lot of obstacles on the lower half that can inhibit flow and cause a lot of dead spots.

a quick video, thanks for the current suggestions. I can try to hammer out some more negative space at the bottom.

Thanks, the video helped. I can see more holes and caves in the bottom which was hard to see in the pic.

The overall design from the video is pretty cool. But I think it could still use more neg space in the bottom bc the more flow the better. Also think about the ease of access when you need to vaccume and clean the sand. Would some of the features above or block access to the bottom? Esp once you start gluing corals on them

I agree about the negative space, so i have been hammering away, hopefully i will have something a bit more spacious by the end of the week.
