35 gallon cube mixed reef work in progress

[SaltyKuya]

So, I am about 6 months into my first saltwater tank, and it is very much a work in progress. Hopefully I will have time this Monday to roll up my sleeves and work on my aquascape. I am envisioning an "eye of sauron" centerpiece with the vertical feature and then a spiral feature with the rest of the live rock with some caves and pass throughs for my fish. I would appreciate any feedback and with that I will get into the particulars.

Equipment

35 gallon aqueon rimless cube
sicce whale 350 canister filter
sicce shark nano protein skimmer
useek ATO
Hipargero 100 watt
freesea 1600 gph powerhead

Aquascape

caribsea live aquarium sand
imagitarium aquarium sand substrate (black)
Dry reef rock (approx 20 lbs)
live rock (18 lbs)

CUC

12 snails (turbo, trochus, cerith)
8 hermit crabs (red & blue)
1 coral banded shrimp
1 tiger pistol shrimp

Fish

2 ocellaris clowns (1 mocha, 1 standard)
1 yellow watchman goby
1 royal dottyback
1 leopard wrasse

Coral

3 Zoas
2 acans
1 duncan
1 reverse hammer
1 firework clove polyp
1 kenya tree
1 brain
1 cats paw
1 mystery encrusting coral

If anyone has any recommendations for CUC, equipment or anything else I am all ears. I am planning on adding an anenome before I add any more coral and kind of build around wherever it decides to settle in.
I will add more pictures with the daylight lights are on.

Beautiful! For the rock, tuxedo urchin, turbo snails, trochus snails, cerith snails and for rock/sand, dwarf red and blue legged hermits crabs. For your sand, conch and nassarius snails.
