I'm planning on getting my first corals and I am looking for some advice on which spots of my tank would be ideal for each type.

I want to try out a mix of all types but want to be careful to places things in a way that they don't interfere with each other.

I'm thinking about starting with a duncan and some gsp on the island on the right. Where would be a good spot for the duncan?

Any ideas what corals would be good to try after those? I'm probably gonna get some zoas at some point too.

Hopefully these pictures give a good idea of the rock work, the blue light messes with my camera.

When you refer to the island on the right are you meaning that roundish rock?
 
I like here for the Duncan personally:

Glue the GSP (or lean it and secure it) against the glass on the right side. Save that rock island for the Zoas.
 
Flow is only from the right side of the tank?

What wattage is that light? You might have to consider upgrading for different corals.

What is your nutrient export plan? It looks like you have a Macro algae in there?
