this is my IM Nuvo 30L - yes this is only 30 gallons. I have quite a bit of SPS in here, any tips or thoughts on how to keep everything playing nice as the tank grows out, or am I in for trouble down the road?

Welcome to reef2reef. Beautiful tank.

Thanks for the compliments! Will most of the SPS just figure out space for itself? The few that start touching burn the tips but that seems to be about it.

How would T5s help? More of a radiant light to fill in gaps?
 
I think your tank looks gorgeous. As your corals grow, frag or remove as necessary. I don’t think you are setting yourself up for trouble, more like you’re setting yourself up for either a frag tank or additional display. Beautiful
 
Beautiful! I dont know much about the coral, so i will just comment that its beautiful!
 
This is a great reef! Any updates?
 
Time for a bigger tank.

Looking good.

Welcome to the team!
That is an awesome looking aquarium, as said above fragging or upgrade eventually.
