Let me know what you think. It's my first aquarium (75g)

I'm a big fan of rock walls but it's got to be what YOU like. I like what you've got going. You've got to be able to see what it will look like once you have some fish swimming around and coral growing. There's going to be plenty of room for fish to swim around and it looks like you'll have plenty of places to grow coral. Good luck!

I like it except the 2 and 3 rocks from the left. The two white ones. Other than that, it looks really good. :)

It looks like someone stacked some rocks in a fish tank

You can build any structure you want with the tools available now. CA glue in huge tubes. Reef safe mortar. Reef safe epoxy glue. Nylon threaded rods.

I feel rock work is such a personal thing. If you like it, it doesn't matter what others think. Functionally, as long as you get water flow around the whole structure, it should be ok. There a lot of articles and photos of aquascape ideas, if you are interested in something different. :D

It is a personal thing

That why everyone, including me, goes “look what I made, I made this”

Photography can be snapshots or it can be art

If you want to make art, you have to impress the senses of your fellow human beings.

Looks fine and eventually, you won't be able to tell the white rocks from the other. My concern is, how is all of this held together? I wouldn't trust CA glue unless maybe you glued the whole thing dry with a lot of thick glue. I've never had luck with reef epoxy though some have had good luck using in tandem with CA glue (I would still do it dry). If you are using acrylic rods to hold, you are probably fine.

If you don't have your rock work "nailed down", a dedicated rock or two on top isn't so bad as you might eventually hold together with an encrusting montipora or some other encrusting hard coral or even a mat of polyps. However (IMO), if what you are showing isn't nailed down, you will be rebuilding various parts of your rock work way more than you want to.

As for now there is nothing glued since I might do changes to it. All I really want is for it to be practical for when I start adding corals to it

I believe snails/hermits might even cause some problems if you don't get at least some of that rock fixed in place.
