I have a bit of a theroy about sps keeping. From my expirence when I had a fair amount of LPS and some softies any sps (even birdsnest) would RTN within hours. I had always thought it was because maybe my nitrates were to high or something. However now that I don't have many lps or softies in my tank I am finding that I can keep sps and my nitrates haven't changed so...... maybe less lps & softies = sps alive?

I have mostly been adding Acans and other softies and the sticks keep looking better lol. I think it's a giant game of chance and you take as many pictures as you can while you're winning. Tony you're winning so snap snap!

can't believe you broke the sps curse. Two thumbs up bud

My old tank had zoas a large colt coral, a lot of large frogspawn, hammer, and torch corals. I'm wondering if it was something more to do with too many large frogspawn/hammer/torch corals. Not really sure but now those large lps corals are gone I can keep some sps, I still have 2 frogspawn and one torch but it's not 6-7 of them like I used to have.

No doubt there is chemical warfare going on in there Laurie. Although tricky, with sufficient carbon and adequate flow throughout the tank softies and SPS can both thrive in the same tank.

Hey Tony,

Sorry to see you had some troubles with your tank but it looks like things maybe on the upswing for you!
