My new 135 gallon display is being delivered soon. I took a crack at the aquascape coming from a 43 gallon. I likely have too much rock, but any tips? I tried to maximize habitat and caves.

The front left or between left two islands will have a deeper sand bed for a yellowheaded jawfish.

Thank you for any input!

As @fish_collector said, it doesn't matter what we like...you have to like it. Personally I do like it. Nice areas for coral placement. Oh there isn't too much rock. I come from the time when the whole back of the tank was a wall of rocks.
 
Personally I love the rock choice and how its laid out. I would have preferred to have a smallest base so that it give more room for fish and detritus to be moving around. That's my 2 cents...
 
Awesome! Thanks so much for all of the replies. I can probably remove or cut down some of the base rocks to give a bit more room for swimming. That was one of my major concerns.

On the crevices and caves, it should be stuffed full of them. I was trying to prioritize hiding spaces as much as possible.

I realized that I should have said that the intent is for a mixed reef. I would love to add a few sticks, but I have only ever really successfully kept stylos.
