Great start!!!

Aim that right powerhead more up and to the rear, and the left a little more down and forward, as I'm a firm believer in creating a circular water flow pattern, keeping any film on the surface non-existent, so push the top water column towards your overflow skimmer.

Keep up on 5-10 gallon water changes very very frequently during the ammonia spike, otherwise any of your "pretty bare" live rock, or lower stacked base rock, will just lose any of the little life it has on it.

Try to spread your rocks out in a more open pattern, bigger voids and use flat pieces as shelves. Stacking rock takes time and practice so you don't wind up with one big lump/clump of pile o'rocks.


But once again, great start!
