I have changed my aquascape at least 10 times in the past 6 months and I am not happy with the current scape. I am looking for an aquascape that has fewer touch points on the sand so I can clean the sand bed easier. Has anyone used AquaRocks? What do you think of the design in the picture?

Note: this is not rock .

Check with @Coral reefer he's got some great minimal base structures and they're real rock
 
I think filled up with corals it’ll look cool but you’re going to lose all the benefits of having live rock. Have you considered getting something built custom? I knew I was not going to be able to make something that I was happy with so I went the custom scape route. There’s two different rockscape vendors that’ll be at the upcoming CFM. Michael from Reef Rock Oasis made mine and I love it. Within the club there’s also @Coral reefer I haven’t seen any of his stuff in person but it looks cool from pictures
 
The image above is a sample of their custom design. If I hired them, it would need to be a custom design. My goal is no longer a natural aquascape look, but more of a nice-looking frag rack if that makes sense.

Is Reef Rock Oasis going to be at this CFM, I don't see them on the list but I may have missed it.

I saw your post and it motivated me to look at professionals. TBH, after redoing my aquascape this weekend I have given up and seeking professional help!

Haha I thought about DIY but when I’ve done that in the past I’ve never 100% loved it. Getting a custom scape from a professional, you can get what you’re looking for
 
I would use caution of the totally fake rock, i suspect it's the issue with mt 65gallon, tank never really got established. The rock i used was like epoxy coated stuff 100% water proof meaning it’s effect is almost same as just having pvc. My step made from that stuff looked cool, but corala always just struggled and some even died.

That's amazing! I have tried to get my daughters to help but they show little interest in the hobby :-( . Maybe I should compensate them with $$ .

The harsh reality is that he is not interested in the hobby either, but he built all major parts of both of my tanks, including the stand, all the lights and mounting, the pre cut plumbing, RODI etc. My younger son though is very much into the hobby and read all of the well know books we have at home, while I am still catching up.
