I have a 20 gallon Red Sea nano max and was trying to create a twin island type of look! I’m not sure how well this will be in the long run for a mixed reef tank. What corals would do well with the levels of lighting provided? Help with that would be greatly appreciated as well! Should I tweak what I already have or restart and build something similar to the final attached image.

Very nice! The tall piece might limit your light below a bit and you might regret that a bit later but I could also see zoas or another encrusting type coral just covering that and looking sweet

I like it, seems to follow rule of thirds reasonably well. Little concerned the left rear is getting tight to your AIO, may want to pull it forward some for cleaning space.
