Need quick response before gluing rock with foam

Looking for pros and cons with this aqua scape I left the room around the whole tank for flow there’s enough coverage even with a center brace where there will be no shadowing what are you guys think should I change anything. This is all live rock so I don’t want to remain dry too long

The only question I have is the height of the rocks as not sure what light you have. Depending on the corals you plan to keep can make a difference.
 
Having one of the islands separated would be nice if you add something that you want to contain growth on or showcase!
 
I left a lot of center space if I choose to isolate something. But I can’t wait for this to be done so I can put my ACAN colonies in. They are crammed in my 40 right now

What kind of "foam" are you using? I didn't know any had been vetted for adhesives by any reefers.
 
I used the white loctite foam. It worked out great. After spraying I put special grade Caribsea on and now it looks like part of the rock. It totally secured my structure in places where the rocks were not so stable, when it expands it creates a cradle.

Thanks for the reference. Let us know how it works out for you. Saltwater is a very harsh mistress...
