Re: Someone help me ID this new SPS

It's true. That's why hardcore SPS keepers don't keep ANY softies. It's chemical warfare when you keep a mixed reef.

Sweetheart?

Honey,if you want to go hardcore with sps,it would be wise to get rid of the leathers and colts,nepheas(or whatever they are called).Mushrooms,zoos and other small polyp corals like cloves are okay.Personally,I believe your system is big enough.

Re: Someone help me ID this new SPS

FYI, I'm not getting rid of any of my softies or zoas. Those wimpy SPS can tough it out.

Re: Someone help me ID this new SPS

what about LPS? are they OK to keep with sps? well, I am only going to add one or two more SPS corals and about two more LPS and I am done, except for fish - they are next on the list


ANTHIAS!!!!!

Re: Someone help me ID this new SPS

yeah. Poo Poo platter? WTF?

I am looking to get me 4 and call it a day in the 90.

BTW , I was looking at successful tanks online and many 75 gallon tanks seem to run OK with a mixed population of corals and they have more softies than me. I will be careful, tho. I hear they use up calcium like it is going out of style.
