So I decided to re-do my live rock set-up last night, whatdya think. I feel it gives it much more of an "environment" look.

first two pics is the before:

Nicely done.
 
i dont know the before had a nice flow, although it was not enough rock to fill it out.

the after i like the right side in the picture, the middle arch and very top of the left could be moved a bit for my tastes. but overall i would say it looks more natural now

sorry ive gotten very picky about reef aquascapes.
 
i like it, but you might want to consider pusing the center piece back slightly, and turning the end pieces inwards slightly to form kinda like a /¯\ look, though not as narrow as that, maybe just a 10 degree turn on each of the end pieces, making it seem like the reef is enveloping you when you look at it head on, rather than just a range of mountains. You gonna get any soft corals (they'd look great on that scape) ? BTW, your fish look amazing, can get us a stock list?
 
Thanks for all the nice comments & advice everyone.

To answer the ?'s. The tank is a 55g FOWLR & here's my stocklist:

2 Ocellaris Clowns
2 Banggai Cardinals
1 Royal Gramma
1 Blue Hippo (yes I know it will eventually outgrow the tank, will upgrade accordingly)

My favorite manager at my local SW store gave me some green polyps and cabbage leather free, to test out with my minimal lighting set-up.

Here's some more pics of the stuff I got and my tank:
