I have a 75 gallons full of SPS. My tric...no sump and lots of softies.
I have a 15 gallons full of SPS. I do have a sump but lots of softies still. What's with the softies and SPS? I never had any problem mixing both. High alkalinity with low nutrient and fluctuation in parameters are probable the problem here, not the softies. Quote:

really?? wow..I have tons of them in my tank with my SPS.
Is there any scientific study about SPS not being compatible with xenia, keny tree, zoanthids, mushrooms etc?? I have all these with my tons of SPS and none seem to bother. I don't even use carbon. Quote:

And I thought low nutrient is preferred by SPS :| Its so confusing!!!! :twised: |

10 is too high if your level of nutrient is low. That will cause all sort of problem like RTN, STN etc..
Sweet spot is natural sea water, 7.5 to 8 is ideal. Low nutrient is good for SPS but they do need food then. Especially if you have a weak light, no wonder they are dying in your tank. with low nutrien you need a good light, good food on regular basis and around 8 kh, no higher. People think that SPS only live from light alone but in nature there is tons of zooplankton. This is also why SPS grow much better and faster in a mature tank of at least a year old, because by that time zooplankton and all sort of larveas have started to colonize the aquarium. I feed my SPS every other day with zooplankton food like Fauna marin, reefroid, coral frenzy and I feed Zeovit amino acid and coral vitalizer each day. This makes all the difference in growth and color. Quote:

I read from a reliable source that on avg, dkH in NSW remains around 3.5meg/L (aprox. 10dKh) :neutral:
Alongside, I do feed coral snow about twice a week. Maybe the light and the nutrient is the issue. Whatever that is, SPS are just not worth it to me :razz: Quote:

It will be very hard with a small mixed tank.My tank is at least 90% acropora with softies and leathers but it's a 100 gallons,no carbon.Don't feed them anything but tons of light.Yeah..their boring and brown..i really hate this ugly one.
