Looks nice, now for the fun part ...replicate that actually in the tank! Cant tell you how many times I had a awesome scape out of the aquarium and then try to replicate it in the aquarium ...;)
 
I would swap the center section with the left section, but you are the one who will be looking at it. Functionally, it looks good. It should provide good flow. It should provide hide outs for fish. And it looks like it will give you good spots to place corals.
 
I am a fan of the "less is more" philosophy, but I know that look is not for everyone. Here's an older pic of my 40b. 20161023_132305.jpg
 
How did you go from nice rock to the flat cut rock, liked the others better to bet honest, this is nice if it is what you have but the first pic was better

the flat cut rock was in the other, had more of the traditional type rock setting on top of it. It was on the shop floor so you couldn't see that it was flat cut. Definitely more stable and I don't think Ill see much rock once corals start growing

I agree with this. Coral grow out will cover it. It still looks like you can go taller on some of it.

With your original setup, my concern would have been flow. It looks like you have solved some of that. before I'd glue it and salt the tank, I'd fill it with RO water and test flow with your power heads. If anything need adjusted, then you can still do it.

dont think flow will be an issue, ecm63 hydro wizard in the right corner. Also have 2 closed loops. If flow becomes an issue, I plan to add a couple of the new Tunze Stream 3 6150
 
Looks good. The more caves and crevices you provide the fish to retreat to, the more you will find them in the open water for you to see.
