Hi andy,

Having done nano for quite a while, I have the following observations and suggestions to make.

1) It will be good if you can reposition your tunze. You may have to rearrange your rocks a little to make space to conceal the tunze. That tunze seems to be taking prime estate in your tank (high light area) where Acros should be. But you have to give considerations when camouflaging the rock for future maintenace. It is a challenge to do all that but it sure makes good sense and i know what i am saying.

2)The flow is never too strong for a SPS dominant tank but you may want to deflect the current to soften the flow near areas where you have LPS (cateye/bubble/goni)

3) I always encourage a wrasse or 2 in a reef to get rid of those nudi pests. They do damage fast so don't procrastinate on that. You can try leopard or six liners. Pls read up on the pros and cons though.

cheers..
