Reefer 250 Aquascape - Thoughts?

Hey everyone - in the midst of a buildout of a Red Sea Reefer 250. Rock arrived the other day and have been playing with scapes. This one is my favorite so far. Long-time freshwater hobbyist but this will be my first reef tank. Lots of beginner corals to start, nothing too fancy. Would love any feedback on proportion, height, negative space, etc.

Despite the way the pictures kind of make it look, there is room for a magnetic algae scraper along all the glass.

Thanks for your input!

Where are you going to put the powerheads and what kind of powerheads? Aquascape looks great but make sure it doesn’t stand in the way of water flow. Also what kind of corals are you keeping?

Thanks! I have 2 MP40s on the way. Thinking either one on the back wall and one on the side or just having them on opposing sides.

Don’t have a great sense of corals yet but will stick to beginner-friendly options. Certainly won’t be starting with anything like SPS.
 
looks great man. I usually put the powerheads on opposing walls, one closer to the back and one closer to front wall. I will usually put one a little higher and one a little lower as well.
