I've had my tank for over two years running with all my corals starting out as tiny frags (I'm talking like 5$ single polyps). Everything seems to be doing very well. The fish are very happy in their environment too. I just think my tank is missing something, not sure as to what. I might just be going crazy because I see the thing every day [emoji2] . Are there any suggestions on what could really make my tank look better and stand out more? Lighting shouldn't be an issue. Thanks!

Much more live rock. Rank also seems a bit dark but that might just be the camera
 
Make 'islands' of live rock away from the walls of the tank (it'll look like you have more rock than you do that way and provide better flow all around the tank), carefully remove the encrusted coralline algae from the walls...cup is 'no bueno' if you are going for a clean, natural reef look.
 
I personally like a white sand bed. Just brightens the tank up in my opinion. I would definitely remove the cup and add live rock to that area.

Haha I hear ya i was using it for when I was breeding my clowns. I guess I don't have any use for it now though.

Yeah I plan on it because i thought it would look cool if I could get coral to grow on it but so far nothing works
