I won't comment on your rock layout because I love lots of open spaces and open sandbed areas.
Rock bommies and such ... OK, I'll put some input in ...  Now that I've had my tank running for 3 years, I've found that I regret many of my LR position choices. If I could re-do my stuff, I'd have lots of low rock -midtank- for SPS growth and keep the rock to a minimum as to not affect/restrict flow from returns/powerheads. My ideal tank/reset my tank will have rock no higher than 1/3rd the height of my tank, and probably not nearly as much poundage as what's recommended as far as pounds/gallon goes. You have so much room in your tank, but so many flow issues to think about .... Last edited by gregzz4; 05-22-2015 at 06:22 AM.

I want to be able to see the fish swim around. I think I have lots of paths for the but also in the left corner some caves for them to hide. Some shelfs for coral. I don't know if I'm completely happy with it. But after 6 hours of climbing in an out of the tank carrying Crunk of live rock each weighing 60 pounds my back says it's good for now lol

100bs here, 75bs there, it adds up to a sore neck and a bad sleep. Like I said, keep the swimming areas open for the BIG fish you will eventually buy and all will be good. I like rock bommies as they encourage grouping/foraging, plus they are good for sandbed spacing. A bommie is a tower and leaves lots of room for a sandbed.

I'm all for lots of sandbed, so the less LR the better.
And a natural 'this here and that there' look. Nothing in a Reef Tank looks worse than a 'fruitstand' layout, with it sloped from the back to the front.
