Tank looks great ,i'm not telling you what to do but i would take out the c.c star fish it's not reef safe ,not sure what kind of livestock you planing to have ,thats just my two cents.Dave

Looks like you are well on your way. Any issues with the Halides directly against the glass? Since salt with soon cover it... you may want to look at put a light diffusor on it. They are really cheap and you can get them at lowes and cut them to fit (that is what I did on my 210). Good luck!!!
