I agree with this left branching rock looks great the right piece is nothing more then a Boulder.

Ive been away for a while...
why/how is your scape too high?

Do you not have the option of just attaching your sps lower on the 'scape if YOU like the way it looks currently?

You're the one who is going to be looking at it all day...

i vote chop it now but could there be an alternative ?. Chopping all that rock seems like a big task unless you have the right tools. How about detaching from the base and flipping them around in another position that would lower everything ?

Why chop the large rock at all? Shame to cut up a nice piece like that. Lay it on it's side and it won't be as tall, or is that not an option?

+ 1. YOu can re-arrange the rock without chopping.

It is a nice piece the way it sits,I suggest rearranging 1st before chopping.
But like someone said above you could place the slower growing SPS at the top of that Pukani.
You mentioned that you have roughly 8" from the top of that Pukani to the water surface line that is good distance for growth.

If you still planning on chopping maybe try this.
Chop the bottom half flip it and place it on another side of the tank and you have a large Pukani a smaller piece and the branching Tonga.

Honestly, I don't think 8" to the surface is enough space for SPS such as stags.
If its going to be a tabling acro tank, then things change and the rock can be higher.
I'm all for the rock being no higher than the mid-point and let the SPS go nuts

BTW, great to meet you tonight Dog
