Looks good. When you start adding corals, if your going to, it will fill up fast. The LFS that I buy from attaches all their corals to live rock, so each time I buy a coral I get a piece of rock with it.

I agree...'less is more'. i have too much in my tank too. Less rock means it'll be easier to keep clean and have more room for fish to swim.

I like it a lot. Nice work.
Here's some suggestions: let the tank cycle. Use the raw shrimp method, not Damselfish. "Ramp up" lighting schedule slowly. Add cleanup critters as necessary and don't go nuts with fishes (yet). Get snails, snails, snails. Avoid hermits. See if you can score some Stomatella from fellow reefers. Diatom and other nusiance algae outbreaks are almost unavoidable- even with RO/DI, but you CAN keep the outbreaks to a minimum. Once cycled and all parameters are optimal: get an inexpensive SPS frag (try the green slimer) and mount it horizontally (with super glue gel) near the top of your rock work. Don't convince yourself you must start with "easy" corals like "mushrooms".

I also like your aquascape. You got some nice pieces. I think many of us are stacked up with "cobbles" which leaves us with limited options. I also like that you can get in with a vacuum, I hope that the sides are accessible by a scraper. I think that is the biggest mistake we make when aquascaping. corals grow+ rocks too close= yucky glass. Plenty of room and interesting, I'd give you an A.
