IMO, the hardest part about this build is deciding which SPS to add! I told myself that I'd only add about a dozen acroporas and grow them in colonies.

These guys are definitely going in:
RR Pink Floyd
ASD Rainbow Milli
SC Orange Passion
Garf Purple Bonsai
Tyree Pink Lemonade
ORA Red Planet
ORA Pearlberry
ORA Hawkins Echinata
WWC Little Red Ferrari
Strawberry Shortcake

So I need to figure out two more SPS to add.

What are you favorites?

I actually have a palmers blue, ORA Oregon tort, and ORA Cali blue tort, but couldn't decide which one!

Lucky you!!!!! So many choices, but you obviously have a plan or scheme which takes careful planning.

I've lost my share as well. When I'm more confident in sps I might try unique corals. They have frags sometimes. Price has gone up though

Are you going to give the AF products another try

No, I'm going back to basics: weekly water change, lots of fish poop, and heavy skimming. I'll be dosing Acropower, however, since I've had success with that in the past.

Replacement part should come in next week.

Got a 7-stage RODI system for a sweet deal! I'll be using Red Sea blue bucket salt with this system.

Think about the snipersps bubblegum millie or the acid trip Millie. Probably 2 of my top 10 sps. You've already got 5. Lol

Here's the final aquascape! 40lbs of Tropic Eden Reefflakes have been added.
That aquascape looks great. Can't wait to see it wet and with all those sps on the rock.
