My 72g SPS dominated tank

[Guy(ReefSmart)]

Although my 300g is my main tank I set this one up about four months ago and its becoming my favorite. What do you guys think? I know its not all SPS right now but I plan on changing out the LPS and softies with the higher end SPS out of my 300g.

Made a lot of changes today I'm trying to get as close as I can to a true SPS tank. I moved some of the SPS out of the 300 and put the toadstool and nephthia in there place. What do you guys think I'm worried I should have left it alone.

SPS do not like being moved, but if you make the same conditions it should be fine

I ment how does it look?

Looks nice, I am about to set up a 72 sps tank as well and I was wondering what kind of equipment you are using in yours? Lightin? Filtration?

Thanks in advance,

I must admit I am an equipment junky. I use a kalk reactor, calcium reactor, Phosphate reactor with gfo, skimmer, chiller, and fuge. My lights are 8x54w t5's 4 blue+ 2 10k 1 Fiji purple 1 actinic. Flow 2 seio 1500 along with return from ehiem 1262 counting head loss thats about 53x's turnover rate. Also connected to the system is a frag tank with a Acan lighting fully programmable led system I won at Baymac.
