Speaking of overflows... I have a gyre in my tank and I can watch crap blast across the back, round the bend and make it's way across the front pane towards the overflow... only to turn that corner and drift within 3 inches of the overflow! Luckily things go around the tank all day so eventually it works out lol.

There will be a little more rock in the upper portion but just to mount coral to. I went a bit overboard in my 120 gallon and had 200 lbs of rock...too much. Not doing that this time. Most of my rock will be in the sump and refugium with just enough in the display tank to look cool.

No light will penetrate the baffles once there is sand on the top so nothing will grow there. I was thinking of making it a refugium at first too but it's not a viable option. I could have filled it with live rock to make it a refuge for copepods but I already have a ridiculous amount of them living in my sump and filters.
