Awesome tank! Can you give us a Top 5 acro list?

Thank you. Top 5 Is tough. I like a lot of the older school acros because we know their colors. Some of the high end stuff today looks awesome in my tank but the colors don’t seem to come out in other peoples tanks. So hard to recommend them to people even though they do look good for me

Thank you that's much appreciated.
Here's where I am at now 1.5 years into this set up. My 1st reef tank. Always had fish only. Currently struggling with growing SPS corals. Your use of 2 light sources interested me. I am currently only using one source and that is Ecotech Gen 3. Soft corals seem to do well but not SPS.

Thanks again and happy reading

I think you missed a spot, needs another acro. LOL! Never seen a tank so jam packed with SPS, as yours. May the challenge continue... congrats!
