Can I get some feedback on if I screwed up my rock placement? I am planning a mixed fish and coral tank.

Its a 43g Cube with ~50lbs of Rock.

I only plan on a few fish and some moving corals and some zoas.

Now that I am thinking about it more I am thinking I made a giant poop emoji in my tank.

Any thoughts on what I screwed up and does it need to be re-arranged?

If re-arranged, can I throw the extra rock in the sump and do I need to do another cycle?

Things I look for in rockwork are
Is it sturdy?
Does it have caves and places for fish to hade and sleep?
If both answers are yes then its fine in my book :)

I have re done my rock a few times for certain fish. My 300 gallon I re did because my zebra eel couldnt move around well like the other eels being longer and wider. But as far as looks it seems fine to me!

That is the list I go through every time I visit the LFS... or online store! ;)

The end result of your scape looks pretty nice! Did you epoxy it in place or just stack it?
I can promise that you'll wish you did something different later on... it's a guarantee and it would happen no matter what you did.
Stacked and bumped to make sure it won’t fall over. Wedged it pretty good.
