My tank is just over 2 years. It’s been kind of neglected over the last 6 months but I’m ready for a revamp. My vision for the tank has always been SPS but I haven’t had a ton of success with acro frags. Maybe I tried too early. My tank is best at growing coralline… I literally have sheets of it falling off daily.

What should I do for the revamp? Just trying to make the tank look as good as possible.

Try Acro frags again?
New aquascape?
Add sand?
Add LPS?
Scrape/remove coralline?

My digi and anacropora grow like a weed but other sticks don’t do much. My encrustors on the bottom do ok but slow.

basic equipment:
5 Kessil 360s and 4 48” ATI blue plus
4 mp40
Nyos 160
Fuge with Chaeto and AI prime fuge
Apex and Trident - auto dosing
my Dkh/ca/mag appear stable according to trident.

Light system sounds good but I think it would be good to check par numbers around the tank. I wonder if there is too much if the encrusting corals only doing well on the bottom. You didn’t mention nutrients/feeding. Slow growth could be a combination of light and nutrient levels. Try to aim for consistent feeding and stable nutrients as well as parameters.
Might be helpful to post your trident numbers too
