Here is my planned aquascape for my 180g build. I want to go more on the minimalist side. I'm not 100% sure if I'm going to go bare bottom so I built to sit free standing. Most of the rock work is below the 50% line for the height of the tank. Thoughts?

Personally I like a good amount of rock work in my tank for plenty of coral space. I feel like if you doubled the size of what you have now it would look good in my eye, but it’s all up to you.

I get what you mean. My last tank had a lot of rock and after 5 years I wished for a longtime I had less and added as needed. My goal for this tank is 100% corals I like not just what's cheap and easy to grow. So I expect a lot less corals going in the first couple years. I should take a top down pic since you can't see the different overhangs. I am leaving myself the ability to shift things around easily and add more rock. I plan on a lot of euphyllia and other lps on the bottom and sps on the rocks. I'll see more when the tank arrives in a few weeks. I may end up adding more.
