Very neat; Once mature it will look great.

My only advice, is that back tower. IMO, its too tall. If the back wall is to scale. The water line will be 1/2" or more below that. Those disks will be almost at the surface. More so if there are waves in the tank. Even low lying corals will have it tough up there being so close to the lights. And if they do flourish, they will start blocking out the the lower corals. They won't have room to grow up, so they will grow out.

So I misled u a little. I made that back wall 6" lower than the actual waterline :) just for that reason.  My tank will only consist of chalice, favia, blasto and a few LE euphyllia.  I have pre planned locations for each piece I want :) and anything that outgrows the 3" disc gets fragged :)

Hey little tip....I bought that same "big" bottle of CG glue from bill a couple of years ago, it went solid as a rock within a couple of months, even stored in the fridge...separate it into smaller bottles and seal them really well.  Then refill the big jug as you use it up. 

Not sure if the stuff goes hard quick or it had just been sitting on his shelf for a year, but it definitely expired quickly :)
