If you are going SPS then keep it simple and scape "in your mind" based on how the corals grow. Some of the most amazing rockscapes look goofy once corals grow out and a tight simple pile of rocks can look breathtaking with a few choice colonies on it. My opinion of course;)

I kept it relatively simple with 2 islands for my 187g tank (60"L x 30"W x 24"T).

Nice scape. this is what I was talking about. This with grown out colonies on top will look phenomenal. All those fancy bonsai scapes, not so much.

That is awesome rock work. How did you attach the rocks and build that shelf in the middle?
