Looks good. I see you did your homework with the need for flows and hiding spot.
A couple of thoughts - please keep in mind that its a personal preference/taste at the end of the day so do what pleases your eyes. the below is what I would do if it was my tank
1) right now its too symmetrical and as a result a bit unnatural. Try either a)moving that middle arch off center. Or b) better yet, since you already got a lot of arches. Try laying that middle arch flat the sand, rotate 90 degrees and move left. Turn it into almost like a lagoon/atoll. This I think will add more variety to your rock scape and jazz it up. I know you want to keep the bottom flow but I personally think it's OK to have a low flow lagoon area for because some corals do like low flow and you are not gonna avoid never cleaning the sand anyway regardless of flow
2) I won't add anymore big rock. Remember this is just the skeletons. Your corals will eventually fill in the meat. if anything, I'd just add 1 more flat shelf with a single column support extending from the right rock structure.
I whipped up a quick sketch on my phone. Its not Picasso but just trying to get the idea across. See if you feel this and flows your boat
Just my two cents..

Exciting and dynamic
what type of fish will you have? Helps to understand the types and amounts of cover you will need
certainly lots of flow channels for smaller tangs
will there be a sand bed?

It's open just like the other side I just have a rock holding it up tell I glue it in place

I didn't glue because if you need to take an individual rock out for a specific reason it's easier then lifting out a structure of rocks.
