As a new reefer I find there’s a lot of decisions to make as far as gear goes. I went with an AIO do to time restraints.

One of my first decisions to make was which return pump to go with.

After reading a ton, watching videos and paying attention to other reefers reviews. I went with the sicce syncra sdc 3.0

How does the aquascape look from the side? if it's practically vertical, i would redo it so you would have more places to put corals. Think of where lighting would hit. Don't be afraid to chisel some of those rocks down to smaller pieces. But in the end, if you like what you have, go for it.
 
made some changes once i put in rank thanks noobster for recommendation

What are you going with for lighting? I had 2 XR-15s and then I just did a retrofit with a reefbrite. Much happier with it now as there’s so much less shadowing
 
Tank has cycled installed the controllers today. CoralVue has great customer service. Carlos helped me set this up being new i wanted to make sure i did it right.
