    I love seeing people like yourself enjoying and showing off a reef tank.I have been in the hobby for 37 years so i hope you dont mind a bit of constructive criticism. Perhaps you could re-structure the aquascape to allow the GSP to carpet it in a more aesthetic way. You have a lot of rock showing at the front and it is piled into a mound which draws the eye, distracts from your coral and isnt as visually appealing as a more conplex structure, so if you have a slightly more sloping scape, build height gradually to the back and add jutting out rocks for a more textured and natural surface it would add depth, draw the eye away from that fairly unsightly face of rock and also allow more light across the tank for coral coverage. It looks like the GSP is thriving so dont be afraid to be a bit rough with it and spread it around a new scape which will speed up coverage as it will take a lot longer waiting for that single carpet to work its way down the slope and into less light. It might even just grow outwards and shade the rock below instead of running down how I'm guessing you intend it to do. A restructured scape with a carpet across it could look absolutely stunning. I hope you dont mind me sticking my nose in?
