I'm starting to get corals so I think I should glue it soon. Any comments/suggestions appreciated!

Have you changed the return pump or are you considering a wavemaker? I've got an Evo and the stock pump produces next to no flow in my opinion!
 
I haven't replaced the return pump but I bought a 425 koralia for mixing water that I was thinking of putting in once I get more corals. What have you changed? It's my first tank so I still don't have a feel for "low flow" vs "high flow" yet. The torch coral didnt seem to like being right in the return pump flow.

In the long term, you may want to upgrade the lighting and flow, but for some soft and LPS corals you should be fine. I love the aquascape, it looks really nice!
 
It's my first set up too, but I've spent literally years doing my research while keeping freshwater!
First change I'd make personally is to get one of the outlets directed at the surface to create agitation, it will help keep the water oxygenated and the pH up.
If you click my build thread badge it'll take you to my build, everything is on there!
Below is a video of the set up. In terms of flow I've got a jebao rw-4 on virtually the lowest setting, but the flow pattern allows for different movement in the water which keeps food suspended and stops build ups on the sandbed.
