The first stages of aquascaping, any thoughts?

I started my rough aquascaping today. Here is a what it looks like. Any advice or comments? I have not broken out any acrylic rods or glue yet, but don't mind.
What do you guys think? I will be working in a few more pieces of fresh live rock to help seed for sure, I'm hoping to ad at least one good shelf on the left side with it.

Unhappy

I don't know why that is, I can see it from my computers but can not see it from any mobile device. I will put the images on my server tomorrow and try again.

I have about 160 lbs of figi-pink, should be 2.5 to 3 inches. I was planning on putting egg crate under the rock only as well.

that small stuff in the front will get lost under the sand, but other than that it looks good

I read the same article when I was aquascaping my tank for the 116th time. It's got great ideas, but all pieces of rock are different. One thing I read that's great advice if you're able is to put the rock in before adding substrate, much less likely to shift. After staring at my tank for a couple of hours with a couple glasses of wine, I put up my rocks so I have caves and overhangs, top of rocks are a few inches from the surface for my sps, fish are happy because they have swimming space but also hiding places and cover. Don't know about egg crate....
