I’m setting up my first 75 gallon reef tank with live rock. My goal is a two island scape with a sand channel through the middle.

I had some more complicated scapes but didn’t love the wobbliness and putty with the live rock intimidates me. These are stable. The right side has way more details in person and unfortunately appears more like a rock wall in photos

I like the way it looks!
 
Thanks, everyone. My planned full fish stocking plan is Flame Angel, Ocellaris Clownfish Pair, Royal Gramma, Midas Blenny, McCosker's Flasher Wrasse, Red Headed Solon Fairy Wrasse, Yellow Watchman Goby and Pistol Shrimp, Springeri Damsel, Neon Goby. There are a lot of overhangs and small passthroughs that are hard to pick up in the picture.
 
Ah the good oh days of stacking rocks lol. If you plan on having some fish, I would make some caves and holes the fish can swim in and out of so that they can hide if scared or chased by other fish.
