The rock actually looks really nice. Once the coraline starts taking over, it will look really natural.
I do agree that swimming space is limited. If you consider how large some corals will grow, I would suggest using less rock and filling in the space with coral. I also think you should consider leaving more space between the glass edge and the inner rock. On my new tank, I am planning to leave sufficient space for small corals to groww on the rock facing the glass and still have sufficient space to get a cleaning magnet all the way around the tank. On my old tank (90G) I have rock touching the glass and I can tell you that it is very difficult to clean in those areas without damaging something. I generally just let the algea grow, but I wish I had enough space to get at the algea. Just my thoughts ...

I love your home made rock. I can't wait to see it in your tank.

looking good so far. I have a sugestion for a tool to help you get things off the bottom of the tank, I ordered a set of forcepts that are 30" long and they work awsome. check with some of the online fresh water planted tank stores. I will try remember where I got them and post the name of the place for you.

YAY!!! I finally got my hole saw... I will be putting the tank on the stand on Saturday
 Here are the holes I cut... took about 5-10 minutes each... A little fast I think that's why the glass got chipped... The hole I cut next to my 3 overflow holes.  The hole on the far side of the tank  Both holes will be for the line in. I hope that the build will start to finally come together once the tank is on the stand.
