I just did my first aquascape and I wanted to know what you guys think about it? As in do you guys like the way it looks? Do you think that the flow in the tank will be ok?, or do you think the way I have the rocks set up my cause dead spots on the water flow?

I like the arches. I would try to get one or two spots with more vertical height, right now it is all at about the same elevation. I would also consider moving the rocks off the two sides of the tank. As algae starts to grow you will not be able to clean the sides where the rock is touching the glass (unless you don't have side views of the tank in which case you don't need to clean the side glass and the rocks are fine as you have them placed).

+1 on the rock's on the side's of the glass.Other than that look's good to me.

yup good job on the arches. fish naturally want to hide so the multiple arches and hiding spots will help keep the stress down. you can keep the rock on the left there but keep in mind that it will be a pita to clean the glass around that rock unless you move it. other then that good job. you have a lot of room for corals to grow.

looks good but the rock laying on the glass on each side will create algae issues in the future. Stack those rocks leaning on the glass on top of your highest rocks in the middle.

I would agree, maybe on the left or right make a little mountain so it doesnt look so artificial.
