I’m not sure if I should change anything about this aquascape setup or just leave it as it is. I’m wanting to build a mixed feef setup

With aquascapes, there's a general rule of thumb to have as many hiding places as there are fish. You've got a cool set up the way you set it up!

I do see areas of possible shading/ shadowing-- as in areas of large overhangs that could block out light on a coral on the next level down. But much will depend on what you get growing where. 🙃

I was thinking of putting some acan coral or mushroom corals in the shaded spots and for the top I was thinking some hammers and Duncan’s. I’ve been watching a lot of reef tours and am kinda harrowed it down to what I want

This is one of the examples I wanted to follow

No hiding spots for fish, and not much horizontal space for mounting corals. Most of the rockwork is verticle which is not ideal for corals IMO. just my 2 cents good luck

I would add more caves for your fish and more horizontal rock. Also, try not to have it close to the glass, as others have stated. Looks good though!

Depending on your livestock, I would listen to others about adding hiding spots if you're going that route. Overall, the scape looks awesome! A little nitpick, personally is the overhang, something about it seems off.
