I like it. Once covered in coral it will look different anyway. I like the space in the front for islands or whatever in the future. In my new build I decided to to do more of a stacked look only because over my two years in the hobby I have decided I like the idea of being able to remove sections or pieces of rock. My older tank I actually made a scape and cemented it together and loved the look. But as things encrust and or a pest pops up, it makes it very difficult to address one area. I couldn’t pull out half of the scape. Here is my new try. Lots of caves and no rock is attached to another by glue, but I do worry about detritus building up in between.

It won’t be coral it will be FOWLR!:)
 
Add more rock and remember you are creating a habit for fish, not an aqua scape for you. Almost every fish needs a place to hide and sleep. You've got it right when a fish can go into the rock and exit some place unexpected. I'm using the same rock in a similar size tank. A couple of the pieces in the video were removed. Tallest rock in the back and the pillars middle front.
 
i like it but it does seem too open? is the puffer going in there alone?
No! Yes I was trying to keep open swimming space as well! This is what it looks like and I will be leaving it like this. I need to add sand and maybe add more rock in the future.
