I might want one more higher piece on the left side of the right structure. Looks pretty good. Make sure you’ve got space for at least a magnet on the sides.

oh the possibilities
you might consider the height of the cantilever portion
maybe lower it about 30 degrees clockwise
fish hate swimming too close to the surface (more than 4in clearance)
just a thought...
congratulations on the new tank

Now just don't do something stupid like put a monti cap on that high piece that ends up shading everything below it as it grows

Can you envision where what corals will go? If so then leave it. I still vote for one more high piece.
Tabling SPS on far left and far right. Regular SPS down the middle and top. Branching SPS on right islands. . Chalices on the lower rocks maybe? Scoly and stuff on sand. Open to more ideals lol.

nice 80/20
Sorry about late(sad) update. I've been working non-stop for the past few months and it doesn't look to be ending anytime soon. It's been a fog with work and covid but I been slowly getting this tank up and running.
I got the tank cycling and started with two fishes, a purple firefish and a hawkfish. Then I added some tangs, a purple one and kole yellow eye. I waited about a month before adding the fishes from the 250. It was my mini QT.
Well, we migrated from the 250 about a week ago. While I was away for work, three fishes quickly died. The yellow eye, my coral beauty and belarus angel. Shorty after, the damsel fish died and we can't find the firefish. We think he died too.
I just wanted to thank @Coral reefer !!! He helped setup a QT tank quickly and identified the issue. All while I was away.... The survivors are the two clown fish, purple tang and the hawkfish. They are being treated with copper right now but wanted to see if anyone else has any other suggestion.
I am going to do a fresh water dip. Should I do anything else? maybe copper + api general cure? The little clown is breathing a little hard....
The tank will be fallowed for 72+ days. before adding them back in.

Sorry! I forgot to say it was velvet!
The new fishes didn’t show any signs of them.

Corals doing good?
Mostly good. About three of the SPS didn’t like the transition and started to STN on the rock. I dipped them and move them to the rack and they seem to be happy now.

Going to restock soon.
Anything thoughts on currently lineup?
Coral Beauty
Royal Gamma
Goby
Kole Tang
Herem of clowns x4
Lytail anthias x4
Purple firefish
2 survivors: purple tang and hawkfish.
They all going to copper QT for a month. Maybe not clowns....as they are possibly coming from a trusted source.

I would stick to a pair of clowns, and go with more anthias
