Default Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Day tank and Night Tank)

Ok, so I realise that not everyone will happily post these details, cause we all look at our tanks for the beauty that is found in the light.. but we all know when the lights go out.. everything changes.. our fish look like members of a undead hoarde.. things start crawling out of place you didnt think they could crawl out of, and you wonder why your hand ever goes in the tank..

So im curious as to these details..

Tank Size?
120G 4x2x2

Quantity of rock?
100lbs+ -- Not sure, but its alot, I have underlying rock around my main structure to allow for extra critters to safehouse away from fish

Inches of sand bed?
Low spots 1.5" high spots 3"

Lunar Lights?
Yup, 3, left side middle and right side

Sunlight hating coral?
5 kinds of sun coral and white and purple carnations

Approx quantity of critters and types running around after lights out?
200+ little snails come out of no where all over my glass, 200+ tiny white brittle stars cover my rocks at night, 20-30 bristle worms scatter about - some small enough they live in between the bristles of my glass cleaning magnet, some are over 8" long. 8-10 of these blackish colored worms that wont leave the holes that act like vaccums, 15-20 feather dusters on the undersides of alot of my rocks, and 100+ little bugs aka pods running around..

Just want to know if I have excess.. or for what my setup is it seems on par.. I know my cleanup crew is efficent enough that I had two chromis die at some point, but I never found a scrap of fish.

Ya.. curious what everyones Mr. Hyde is like? Since we all love our Dr. Jekyll's and dont really speak of Mr. Hyde.
