just a quick blerb of thoughts for you. Hopefully you have your lighting in order. Current seems good.

There is something called Aleolpathy (or something like that). Basically it's chemical warfare and with a lot of LPS and other softies it may be an issue for you. That being said, many people do fine mixing. May want to run carbon (but I am speaking from a theoretical point of view - I don't have a mixed reef).

Many people feel fish waste is plenty for SPS food. I add "Oyster eggs" 3x a week to my tank.

The Montipora species is one of the more hardy and tolerant SPS's. There is branching, plating, and encrusting versions.

Good luck.
