Here's my tank as of just now.

To me it feels kinda blah. What should I add to it for more color, more pop. Something that catches your eye. I want to start some SPS, but I'm having trouble keeping ph up. It is currently at 7.83. I'm keeping zoas, mushrooms, a hammer and a Duncan, they are all doing rather well. I'm sure they would be doing better if I could get ph under control. Any suggestions?
 
What kind of lights do you have? IMO lights can really make make thinks pop. Sps are pretty hard. I started an sps tank and it is pretty hard to keep those beautiful colors.
 
Maybe add a background to fully focus on the tank instead of seeing what's behind it
 
Maybe move some rock closer to the from and leave some in the back. Make arches go from front to back and a diagonal upper slant. It will give ur tank a little more depth.
 
They are expensive but chalices are an lps and have more colors then you can imagine. Zoas/ palys have a large amount of colors also. Ricordeas would be another choice.
 
If your lights are metal halides or at least 4 strip t5 you can get an anemone.
 
I have a selection of lovely coloured lps -hammers, torches and leathers that are quite large too. I love the colours of green star polyps and clove polyps also...
