The joys of reefing

[Tom R]

I have always been told, you can not keep SPS with LPS and Softies. While some of the Pros's and Con's of a mixed Reef are:

Pros's

There is always something usually an LPS that looks good.
The Softies never RTN for no reason.
If an SPS RTN's you can blame it on the Softies.
You can never kill a brown blue tipped Stag
With the space a Softy takes up in your tank you will not have room for yet another expensive SPS.
You can always buy that great looking Angel because they never eat cabbage coral or Xenia.

Con's

Beautifully coloured SPS do not go with you room decor.
Your friends will look too you to pick up the tab for drinks because you will have money in your pocket from not buying yet another SPS.
You will quickly become a Coral Guru as your softies always look great.

Good one Tom. So very true as well especially for the brown blue tipped stag, its the biggest piece in my tank by far.

Yes sadly I'm already planning on what to put there next. Isn't that pathetic. I think I've developed a rather detatched attitude towards SPS and TN these days.

"aww that sucks, I wonder if i can frag it to save a piece it? Then I can grow the frag and move that blue one up top after I chuck the dead one"

Thanks Brad, you know I'll be hitting you up for a piece, it grows pretty fast too

Sebae, yeah I was kind of wondering about this RBS stuff too. No change in flow or zeo rock. I'm doing another water change today so I figured why not spin the wheel of doom again and see what happens I don't think I've heard anyone complain about it yet (unless I've been reading the wrong boards).

seen threads as well of a crash or near crash after switching salts (not just to RBS)

oh definitely, I've even had issues using the same brand, just a new bucket. I'll do my WC today with RBS and report back in a few days whether anything detrimental came of it.

Ive had nothing but good results since switching to RBS. Is there something wrong with the salt that Ive missed reading about?
