Like the archway on the right, but not sure about the stack on the left yet.
The hardest thing about the initial aquascapeing is to resist the urge to go tall with the rock. If you go too tall, you have less vertical space for coral to grow into. Many of the best grown out tanks almost always have a lower rock base (about half height of the display tank), and the coral grow up to fill the space.
It's also easy enough to add more rock later if you still feel you need the height. Plus, fish love it when you add new rock and change up the environment ever once in a while.

Well Started Last night late LOL when I turned my pumps on I had water shoot 25 feet across the room. I installed 2 Neptune flow meter on each return pump, well one didn't have the O ring in it lol I know beter should have looked closer. Had an O ring from my Cor pumps but when I found it I panicked cause I needed to get it running. so I ordered a new one well I will have a back up now, I don't evan have them hooked up yet lol. Got Water in the System now one very small leak, on a Union, I will go buy a new one tomorrow or Tuesday and replace the O ring I am pretty sure that's all it is. Got the Cor pumps only running at 34% it looks like I have a huge turn over but have to wait till I hook up the flow meters to see.
following along...
I was looking a the setup today and it's hard to tell, without water in it yet but you may need to add an extra loc-line knuckle to each return with the RFG nozzles. They look pretty close to the same level as the overflow grills, and they will need to be fully submerged to work the way they are intended.
