Looks good, Gary, and nothing wrong with a mixed reef. Good way to start with slowly moving into some SPS.

I have definitely found some SPS much more tolerant and easier than others. Montis, Birdnests, Orange Digis, and some Validas (not all though) are good starters.

Big thing is keeping your water parameters pristine (very low nutrients) and totally stable (especially KH). Hope you have a good skimmer.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Hey Gary:
You got a great looking base starting with your live rock arrangement I guess I don't have much SPS but I believe that keeping your water pristine with a good skimmer is important too. I finally got a couple of BRS 1.1 dosers for CA & ALK but still dose MAG manually.
This is what I started with in Dec. /2012

Here's a shot from a few months back July / 2014

And a not so great shot from this morning during my AI lighting sun rise.
