While I agree that these are wonderful numbers to GROW SPS, I don't think they're required to keep it alive as a freshly introduced frag. Maybe long term, the stress of not growing might tick it off a bit, but not bleach it in a couple of days.

Now, that being said, there's a lot of advantage in maintaining proper growing levels at all times. I would work on that routine before worrying about adding SPS.
