Can’t say. I’ll never know exactly what you had in mind [emoji1]
What I CAN say is: You don’t have a solid rock wall. Or a pile of rocks in the middle of the tank. And your pillars certainly aren’t simple.
You’ve got plenty of open space and something that reaches towards the top of the tank.
I think you’ve got a really good thing going right now with negative space. You’ve created an epic aquascape in a tiny footprint without it feeling crowded. You certainly could build a cave or a ledge or a structure to hide your pumps, but I think you run the risk of taking away from the minimalism and drama that you’ve got going just as is.
Things might look a little spindly or incomplete now, but I think when your structure starts filling out with coral growth it’ll fill right out and be a real jaw dropper. I’ll be following this one for sure

I would agree with this. It is so unique now. A few well placed corals with the right growth pattern could create a cave over time. With an aquascape like this, you may want to get corals growing before adding any (or many) fish.
BTW, that is an Asterina Star. Some consider them pests as they can overpopulate a tank. I tend to leave them if I only see one or two.
