It looks good. You have to be happy with it. If you love it that's all that matters.
We all have personal preferences and taste.

I like the scape, but I hate dry rocks...

Thanks. Once I got it glued where I wanted it wasn't quite wide enough for my liking, so I put another piece of rock rear left, and am gonna hunt down an arch local to tie it into the leftmost arch.
I appreciate it, gotta respect everyone goes about it their own way.

Kind of want to tie the 'island' in with an arch, but we'll see.
I kind of worried about that, but there's a good deal of space to add shelves/arches down the road.

I really love it. Especially the depth you have created and with open space in the center and the two non-symmetrical peninsulas. It actually reminds me a bit of my scape except I left the middle completely open without the bridge you have. I haven’t changed my scape much since I started about 8 years ago and still love it.
My only suggestion would be to consider your lighting as it relates to the highest points in your scape. If you have a LED bar-type light or T5s it won’t matter, but with pendants or halides like I have, the most intense lighting is to left and right of center. Right now your highest point for mounting SPS with high intensity light requirements is in the center so if you don’t have a bulb above the center, that could be something to think about.

Lighting is something I'm still kicking around. Budget wise I'm considering a noopsyche, and then another down the road. If I happen into a situation where budget becomes less of a concern I'd love to run a dimmable hybrid t5 setup. Either way I think I'm a little ways out from SPS still
