Just my thoughts.Thank you all for the warm welcome and positive reaction to my scape, I am not sensitive so please your critical comments will be appreciated, but only now while I can still change it. I do have a well thought through plan that includes some softies in the middle LPS on the structure on the right and branchy SPS on the plateau of the structure on the left with some LPS and softies placed strategically below.
Sounds like you have a plan and I hope you find the right corals for they job. Some lps will definitely appreciate the shadier areas. Lots of open areas. I like that, but may want some more rubble in the fuge to help grow pods and extra bacteria.
My fish list is long and I know I will have to cut it but currently it includes: Green Chromis (currently in quarantine), a few clown fish, a one spot Foxface, a pair of Yellow pyramid butterfly's, yellow Coris Scots fairy red velvet and cleaner wrasses, Purple and Helfrichs Fire Fish, definitely a long nose hawk fish, Royal grammar bass-let, Yellow watchman Goby and lastly I will add a Yellow and a Blue with yellow tale Tangs. In a tank your size you will be more limited on those tangs and butterfly fish. I would also only do two clowns of the same species to avoid any deaths. Get a pair or two juveniles.Faxface could outgrow that tank. They usually do better in a bit larger systems. The two tangs are iffy also. Just such a small tank for them. With wrasses, make sure you have a top. A mesh top as they jump! Keep researching. You will find more appropriately sized fish that are really cool to have.
The cleanup crew: Cleaner Shrimps and Nazerius snails(currently in quarantine tank), more shrimps, Cerpant star fish, Blue legged Hurmacrab and a lawnmower Blenny. Make sure the tank is more mature for the blenny. They like to graze and need the mature algae.
I know it is way to much but will trim the list as I progress. Any sugestions will be appreciated. Have fun and do lots of research. Patience and not impulse buying is key.

Welcome!! Looks good so far only thing I always try to do is make sure there are enough cases and hiding places for the fish I want. Keeps aggression down imo
