Less or more? What's looks better?

I like less rock and more corals, although I wish my sand bed was clean without coral....

I try to go for a more natural low scape now, a couple rock formations with lots of acropora on top filling out to mature colonies. Since I have 3 tanks I have abit more room to set up atleast 1 tank like a display.....

When you dive in Asia you can see lots of boulders with different species of corals on them, sort of like a seafood platter.... I figure this more asthetically pleasing to the eye than my generic fruit stand.

The temptation of getting more beautiful corals is far too great lol. I think I rly have an addiction problem haha. I notice having more rock n sps is more work now because I have to turkey blast the top parts daily to get out all the waste. But It looks a lot better in my eyes now =). They take so long to grow!!! So when they actually do take up more space ill get rid of some for now I need something to look at haha

With your posts it appears as though you are moving too quickly with your tank. It looks great for 8 months. You shouldn't have to be turkey basting your rocks or corals, ever. Best to keep your hands outta your tank. Fiddling can cause crashes. I'd ease off on buying corals and livestock and buy some decent power heads or wave makers. Your tank is lacking flow.
