Personally I would go higher with the rockwork... I like mine almost all the way to the top. I use 10pd pieces which leaves plenty of room behind the rockwork... It also makes for great circulation...

Your tank has a good side to it as it has alot of rock work, but personally i would add some type of coralline ...as i dont really care for the color of the rocks....if you can change the back ground to black, that would really help the tank out. Also i would personally add more colorful colors so it pulls you more into the tank. I also think a few more colorful fish will help out as well...bring as much color to the tank as possible.
other wise its really nice.
Just im noticing my tank which is barely 3 months old..has more growth...

Don't worry Hawk Fish.
I agree that the backround would look nice as black. I'm thinking that your calcium levels and your lighting are low since there is not much coraline algae on your rock. Some zoos , star polyps, frog spawns, and more shrooms might add some color (as well as some nice fish like royal grammas or gobies). We all have things we need to improve on. i'll show you how my tank once was as it progressed!

1 is the tank about three days old after most of the cloudiness had gone away
2 is the tank ata bout two weeks
3 The beginning of a cyano bacteria bloom (on the rocks)
4 My firt three fish , blue green chromises and the beginning of an algae bloom on the rocks , glass and sand. (some hair algae too!)
5 near the endy of the cyano bacteria and the peak of the algae bloom. Those hermits are right at work!
6 well I can tell this was a while ago (camera focus!) And some of the fish that I had before my friend and I traded for more desireable species.
7 The great beginning of coraline algae and some small corals (bird's nest in the middle)
8 about a month and a half later with some better corals and more coraline
9 some picts of the tank at that time and about two weeks later.
