So here is my tank currently, bottom area is looking good but the top is looking quite empty still, what should i get that likes light and flow? Im not at acro level but my lepto and pavona are growing great. My lights are two orphek or4 icons and the picture is under a yellow filter so its not ridiculously blue like my phone camera makes it

It looks good so far but I would want more color. Red goni's, red and blue acans, something yellowish like yellow submarine favia, purple cespitulinaria, lots of different colors of pally's and zoa's, different color mushrooms, red plating monti for the top....

Honestly I think the "acro level" thing is a bit overstated. In the 8ish months I've been reefing I've killed 4 zoas, 2 torches (I went full send way too quickly), but 0 SPS including multiple acros (my acros are growing out well too). So, either I'm just the luckiest reefer alive, or acros aren't as bad as folks make them seem. If the top of your tank has decent PAR (250+), good flow, and you have stable nutrients, I think a Ruby Runner (or some other red/pink acro) would look beautiful up top!

Oh or if you want something more forgiving a Bubblegum Digitata Monti :D
I'm with @Mr. Mojo Rising . The first thing that I thought was some different colors. Like reds or blues. Tank really looks like it's doing very well.
