Awesome tank!. My 120 is 3 months old and growing. Couple of years to grow in. I like your low rock work with plenty of space for corals to grow.
Only regret for me is I wish I would have done a peninsula like you with my corner overflow. So much more room for corals.

Thanks!
Honestly the hardest thing for me is keeping good flow, I have a couple spots up top that would get great light and be perfect for some coral except that I can't get flow to be good enough. I've always struggled to keep good flow in my peninsula tank because I only have pumps on one side.
Also I have zoa eating asterinas which suck. I'm thinking about trying a harlequin shrimp, but I have a coris wrasse so a shrimp might not make it.

Yes I always question my flow, I have done the harlequin shrimp before to take care of the zoa eating starfish before and they worked like a charm, plus it was cool to see them in action.
