I definitely noticed that SPS doesnt seem to do well in tanks with large leathers or large amounts of leathers.....leathers are amongst the worst for "chemical warfare"...carbon can and will help with this......if you want to dable in sps I would start of with a couple frags of montipora or birdsnest(quite forgiving as far as sps goes) and see how they do.....
like coolhand said....the other issues with mixing the two can be lighting and flow....
a truely mixed reef is doable, you just need to keep all these things in mind when placing your corals
