I’ve got the arch in with plenty of space around it for flow and through it etc
Lots of little ledges for coral etc space at the top
Should I put a rock shelf on the back of the tank
What do you think of it so far

It looks good. Are you going to add a sand bed?
I don't think you should add any more rock to the back. Personally I like a lot of alternating flow around the rock structure.
 
Yeah putting sand bed in today thanks for the advice do you put sand in before initial fill or after it’s full
Sounds like a silly question 😏

You definitely want the sand in there before filling otherwise you will have a mess :-).

Not silly at all! You will get answers from both sides. I did sand first, then rock. (had to find photos from a few years back)
