you should put an incrusting montipora on the empty spot. A nice sunset one or even a chalice would look sweet their once it grows!!
Popssibly even a rock anenome??
Your tank looks sweet,simply and ellagante!!
Dont see any fish in their? You should add a couple little ones,6 line wrassee or manderians. Something small and colorfull and then you wont notice the empty spot with the fish swimming around!
Good luck and keep up the great work!!

Seriously a beautiful setup. You should be proud! I'm diggin the acan garden, and the euphylia side and sps side too! It all works very well together. You have obviously put some thought into the placement of the corals. Well done :thumbsup:

Encrusting monti or a sick chalice is where I have been leaning for that spot, so you are reading my mind right now. I don't have too much experience with chalices. From what I understand they are not difficult, but do they like a fair amount of flow? What happens is the flow from the vortech comes bouncing off the wall of the tank, and shoots straight up that slope. Not a ton of flow, but much more than there is on my acans. The torches love it, but not sure if a chalice would. Any advice would be helpful.

As far as fish are concerned, you just can't see them in the pics. There is a purple firefish and a yellow watchman goby who has paired up with my randalli pistol shrimp. Until recently, I had a McCosker's flasher wrasse, but I haven't seen him for almost 2 weeks :-( I can't find his body so I don't think he jumped. Not quite sure but I plan on getting one of these to replace him:

Have to wait for them to have one in stock.

Thanks! I have been tinkering with the flow from the return pump and the vortech a ton since I set it up so that I can get every coral the amount that they want, so it has been a work in progress on coral placement, but alot of thought has gone into it!

Did you obtain that Yuma that size or has it grown a ton for you...that badboy is center-piece quality!

Thanks guys. The Yuma has grown a ton for me. When I first got it, it was about the size of a nickel. Now it's about 5 inches across. Brent Thomann actually sold me that guy. He's been propagating them by slicing them up for years I guess. I stopped feeding it by the time it got to 3 inches in diameter but that hasn't stopped it's growth.

where's the hammer (as seen in your avatar)?

Unfortunately the hammer didn't survive the move if I were to find another one like it I would definitely buy it, even if i would have to do some serious re arranging. Those purple ones are nice
