I like the layout of your rock, too. I think it gives you a lot of places for coral, while still having plenty of room for your fish to swim.

Just a couple suggestions, you may want to move the pump that powers the fuge up towards the top of your tank for a couple reasons. 1. Higher levels of DOCs towards the top of the tank to be filtered out and 2. More importantly, if your return on the fuge ever got clogged you wouldn't have your whole tank draining on the floor like DSR just had happen.

I would put a coarse filter sponge over the tip of the hose on the return line from the fuge so Macro algae doesn't get sucked into it and clog, and also rethink the caulerpa down the road. I did both for a while myself and caulerpa can be a pain in the butt after a while, cheato does a great job and is much cleaner.

Tank does look awesome as well as the fuge layout and media choice.
