I fixed the link for you. It was not working.

I see rocks hanging in mid water. Are they on a line of some kind?

It looks like you have bits of live rock attached to eggcrate somehow to make a bit of a wall at the back. Is that true

Yes the rocks are attached to the eggcrate. I can use smaller pieces of rock that way I m not sure I like but with out enough rock to finish it it hard to tell

It is certainly an interesting approach. At fist glance I can't say I like it, but then it is probably not complete, and it is only my opinion.

Its an interesting idea using the egg crate. I would have never thought of that. Looks good so far. Would be interested to see the end result.

I think with more rock and cutting back some eggcrate, you could have a nice looking tank.

Right now it looks kinda funky.
