aquascaping/branch vs. non (pics)

[ret25yo]

got a quastion whats the best way to aquascape a 72x36x24 when you have it filled with softies and you have alot of branch and alot of non branch?
should I do branch on bottom to increase the flow on the sand surface? or base then branch??

right side now:


extra rock:

I also have a mixture of both. I use my big pieces of branch on the bottom support my rock. I basically use the branch as building/support, and put the rock on top of it.

Are you wanting to re-aquascape? I think it looks really nice now.

yeah..re-doing it i would like it more open for corals to grow i can achieve the look with all my branch rock but question the top or bottom...
