Love that Blue Spot.
It does appear you have a lot of rock in there. Is all your rock stacked against the back glass?
Something I did with my 265 was making sure there was not a horizontal rock line look. Rather than all the rock being the same height across the top of the tank, break it up like a mountain ridge line.

Yea its all on the back its temp I just broke down one tank and want to break down the other one to stack it with Tonga branch underneath and the some shelf pieces then round ones like u said mount range look. I can fit all that rock in one Walmart bin. The bluespot is a bad ass I got a pearlyhead catfish too be was hiding in his hole.

So it sounds like all of your rock will be redone. Not sure of your plans for stacking/securing but might I suggest an amazing product I used? It is called EPO Putty. I only found it available from one place online. This stuff is unbelievable. Once set and curred, EPO Putty is stronger than the rock itself.
When we stacked the rock in our last tank, we used acrylic rods. While this worked great, there was no way we could have built the rock structures we did in our new tank using rods and the other putty's on the market would not have held up to the structural demands needed to secure the rock.

Does it work better than that cheap stuff you get at Home Depot, the green and white mashable junk?  That stuff never stuck to the rock work for me, and I'd prefer not to drill the rock or zip-tie it together.

The EPO putty works 100 times better than everything else I have tried. As long as you knead the putty into the rock, once it cures, it will not come apart. You will have to brake the rock apart before you'll get the putty apart.
