Nice, some cool rockwork there.

Deffinately watch the top offs, remember water evaporates, salt doesnt, your salinity may be a bit high.

As a side note, Id put the brain coral on the bottom, on the substrate, its where they prefer to be.

And you probably allready are aware of this, but I would be very catious about how many fish you have in there... all that load in a small tank can turn things for the worst. Just a friendly reminder. Dont know of your plans.
