I just today set up a saltwater tank. It was a while to get to this stage. I’m looking for honest opinion on how my tank is.. I did a lot of Africans cichlids.. but this is new to me..

Hello and welcome to R2R. There are plenty of great people on here that know their stuff and can help you out, so feel free to ask any questions. They've helped me and many other newbies accomplish their goals of having a great tank.

Can I see a pic of ur tank
 
Welcome!

Looks like you've checked all the boxes. Socks, skimmer, regulated return pump, tank looks to be drilled.
I couldn't see your heater. Be sure it's not in the same compartment with your return pump. That section can run dry.

I'd put a fill-to line on your sump so your salinity doesn't wander. Good job keeping your power strip up high so no drips into electrical!

I don't know what your goals are or how lavish your budget. In the 3-6 month range, I'd recommend a temperature controller and an automatic top off.

Overall, looking real good.
 
So here's mine. Full tank shot at "normal light" and a inset with the whites up. (Ignore the rubbermaid... have some shrooms I'm trying to get to attach to some rubble.)
