Here's my tank front and side. I feel that it's a bunch of small frags and looks really messy. Any tips on how to balance it out more?

I've heard:
1. Move torchs to top left corner and top right corner.
2. Zoa and lps garden where the torches are now.

See my build thread for the bare aquascape. Thoughts on moving right structure forward and add another higher step where the green slimer is now?

Your tank looks great.

My suggestion - your corals are going to grow - and your problem will be solved. When you start moving things around it usually causes more problems and issues.

That said - this is your tank - I don't think there are a lot of things to 'do' myself - But if I were - I would leave everything on the rock alone, perhaps move the torches to the center - on the bottom - and move all of the rest off the sand (somehow) - OR - group it more - You have a build that looks a lot like mine - with the table rock.

Good luck. Again - IMHO - your tank looks great

IMO, your tank looks fantastic! I wish I could achieve what you have right now! The only thing I'd say is, move the torches (like you mentioned) and then maybe create a zoa garden, front and center, on the sandbed.

becareful if you move torches up as they do sting. Maybe just group things on the sand neater. Zoas in one area, torches in another. Or torches in middle and zoas on each side. Looks great.
