Looks like the rock move went well yesterday. The tank looks great, I like the way you did the rockwork. I can't wait to see it when its really filled in nicely and the finishing work is done up front.

BTW, the anemone is doing great, it found itself a spot it likes, and still viewable too. It ate tonight when I tried feeding. Now I just have to wait for it to grow up and my Tomato clown to move in.

Just something for you to consider with the rock. I also had dense piles of rock, which I now attribute to me tearing downthe tank after many of my corals dying. I removed over 100 pounds of rock and the inside surfaces of these rock piles were disgustingly covered in detritus, grunge, and other nasty compounds. I have tons of flow in my tank.
To build big piles of rock like you have in the corner, I would have put small milk crate type boxes under as a base. Maybe you did already..?

If not, be sure to turkey baste inside the pile regularly...

I can second that because with my corner tank the back corner used to be just a big pile of rock. I always had high nitrates until I adjusted the structure and flow.

There flow directed behind the rocks but theres no output right behind there, there is quite a bit of flow going through the tank so i hope im avoiding most dead spots. And it looks like ill have to let canreef host the pic for a while.
