It's really looking great. From the pictures it appears that the acrylic polishing turned out well and you got your micro bubble issue under control.
A couple comments about the stocking:
I had trouble in the past with damsels and anthias coexisting in my 135, the damsels were demons and bullied the anthias constantly. You may want to consider pulling the damsels out if you want the anthias.
Do you plan on putting all of the tangs in at the same time? At the very least I would suggest putting the naso and achilles in at the same time since they're conspecifics and one may bully the other if it is more established.

Wow this tank is gorgeous! I love the dimensions.
What are the measurements? I'm sure you already mentioned it but I missed it.
Is that pond foam covering the overflows? I love how the sides go up like a reef wall and the middle is open. I love the bridge across the middle too. This tank has one of the best aquascaping that I have seen. I like seeing softies too. I like how they're just lower in maintenance, electricity and equipment costs. If I ever get my big tank set up (been planning for over two years) I will have mainly softies and shrooms for the above reasons.
How are the Damsels working out for you with what you have in there now? I wanted to put a few Fiji Blue Damsels in my future tank. I figured three of them in a 200 gallon wouldn't do much damage if I chose tankmates carefully. They do add fantastic color and they're so incredibly hardy. I would not have any Anthias though as I do agree with swjim that they are too docile in general to be mixed with Damsels.
What do you use to get to the bottom? I had some aquarium tongs but they rusted out after only a few uses. My 47 gal is 30" deep. It's 20" X 18" X 30" kind of like an extra tall cube. Now that I don't have tongs I don't know what to use. I haven't had the need to get down there lately but I'm sure I will need to eventually.
