These are all very pretty acros, and there are a ton more.

I would also agree that duncans are sweet all the euphillia are pretty neat also. These would all do well in your lower light areas.

Thanks for the flow thoughts guys.... I hope to be able to ramp up the pump on my "spraybar" setup to get adequate movement through the tank. hopefully in these pics you can see what I designed. There are actually (14) 1/4 inch outlets for water on the "pressure" return. I put 3 "jets" in each rear corner and the remainder are in the center facing all different directions. The rock work is on a PVC stand covered in foam to mimic rock so I have a huge cave under all my rock. There are 4 jets under there to keep it cleaned out. I am a swimming pool contractor so I built these like I would in a pool when I want less flow in certain areas. I decided what areas would be highest flow and fed those jets first and then the rest are in series with the last jets receiving the least flow in the bottom of the tank. I actually have no problems with bubbles getting back into the display with my current flow and hope that I don't have trouble when I up the pump sizes to increase flow. My sump is actually fairly large and I think the size helps. The refugium is 24x24x18deep, the protein skimmer area is 24x18x10 deep with a 3" wide bubble trap. the return area is in the center and measures 24x18x10 deep. The (2) drains in my tank are both 1 1/2" so I am capable of a lot more water draining than I am using currently.

BTW... the lighting is DIY and I have 4 for redundancy in case of failures. I built them with two ballasts in one case with cooling fans so that each case runs 2 fixtures. that way throughout the day my timers will change over from one set of ballasts to the other and the theory is that with a shorter run time each day the amount of heat destruction on the components is minimized.... also allows me the option to run 4 different spectrum bulbs at different times of the day if I ever thought I needed to....lol
