Good Morning!

I went with live rock when I set up my tank but did not buy nearly enough and was never a fan of my previous aquascape. I feel like I rushed and just wanted to get everything set up. Here is a before picture of my scape.

I looked around online some and talked to some folks at the LFS and ended up getting a box of 40lbs of Carbisea base rock. After talking to the folks at the local fish store I rinsed it off with some RODI water and plan to add a couple pieces at a time. I moved some items around and use a couple pieces of the base rock to start off with and wanted to get some advices on what direction to head in next or if anyone has any advice.

My plan is to bridge the center portion and leave it open area underneath that bridge as an open area. I don't think I need to build up anything on the left side since it is already about half way up the tank. On the right side I want to leave some of the islands and build it up a little bit more.

I like the concept. I think we need a bit more height on the left side and maybe a rock or 2 more on the right.
