sps placement and nutrient high water
I'm getting green on the bottom of my glass, i'm assuming nutrients in the water since I just changed my Halide's. I didn't think I had too many fish for my tank but who knows? I need to get my new frags placed permanently. I don't want to keep moving stuff around. Any suggestions or pictures of exising sps tanks to help me decide where to put rock and frags and small colony's? I took out some rock with mushrooms and zoanthus to make room for frags. Attaching pic. of tank, the 45 gal. (zoa's new home), I still have some zoa's in my 135 gallon due to the fact I haven't "set" the rock up in the 45 yet. I do have more rock around.

with your lighting you can pick pretty much any spot you want. don't be afraid to put some of them down low ,close to the sand . your only challenge is to make sure you get water movement around and thru them . you may find you may need an extra p.h. or two to do this , but over all it looks like the skies the limit ! good luck !

what about the rocks, for flow I probably don't want the rocks too close together? Yet I don't want them to fall. I do have several large pieces in there, don't know how much you can see from the photo of my 135 gallon.

Yes they are and my tank temp stays at 77 and they do fine you just have to feed them allot everyday to keep them healthy I feed twice a day.And my tank is a 180gal with 3 400 20k bulbs with Lumenarc reflectors and 4 72in vho actinics. 1/2 horse pacific coast chiller 85gal sump and fuge, and about 6000gph of flow in the tank. I run a Dolphin 3600 amp master for filtration and feed my chiller and Korllin 1502 reactor misc. monitors and controllers just the basics.
