With the holidays around the corner. I am possibly trying to see people’s opinions on what I should upgrade in my tank. I have an SCA 50gal that has been running for about a little over 2 years now. I have 2 AI Primes 16HD for lighting and 1 Nero 3 in the tank. Most of my coral currently are Zoas, GSP, frogspawn and a big leather.

I do feel like I should try and get my flow in the tank as an upgrade. Attached is what my tank currently looks like. If you have a suggestion if I should move my Nero please let me know.

Thank you for your time reading the post!

I agree with @EeyoreIsMySpiritAnimal . If things are happy you probably shouldn’t mess with it. If you’re really bent on adding another pump, I’d add another Nero 3 . I have 3 in my 90 and a SCP 90 crossflow gyre and I love em. But, again, if the tank is happy I’d leave be. Use the money to buy another coral.

If you are like me, you just want to keep growing in the hobby. I would say decide on what you want in coral next. Then make the changes needed for your next step. If you don't have a ATO that would be the next purchase if it were my tank

I do have an ATO.

I want to try and get into more intermediate corals I would say. I always have my monti cap start off great and they suddenly just crash. I just started dosing Alk. Since it was way low in the 6-7 range.

As of now I just feel like my top level of the tank is blank and nothing there
 
Your tank is green dominated and would benefit from some contrast. I would suggest something orange or gold.

A gold hammer or torch (dragon soul would go well) on the right side would stand out and look great

Birds nest. Very easy, fast growing and I always get complements on mine. This is year and a half growth from a small frag.
Is yours more in the middle of the tank with high flow?


Here is my tank. Should give you an idea of flow. Par is 150- 180 at birds nest if I remember correctly, but I had them at 100 par for a long time
