Hi: I’d like some feedback on this aquascape. It’s a narrow tank so I cannot rotate the main rock. I can move it right and eliminate the smaller rock to try to get the ‘handle’ near the right third line. I do plan to add proper black sand and epoxy the rocks eventually.

I'm in AZ. Winter just arrived the other day. Won't be shipping anything live for a while. PM me.
