My fish stock consists of: 1 Yellow tang, 1 Naoko's fairy wrasse, 1 Sunburst Anthias, 1 pair of Australian Blacks clownfish, 1 Manderine, 1 scooter blenny, 1 blue neon gobie, 1 bubble tip anenome , 2 clams, 1 urchin, 3 shrimp, and several snails.

I'm trying to keep an Australian Elegant, and 2 Torch coral frags now, but everthing else is SPS.

I've tried several types of torch corals, a few acans, and some duncans.....but no success with keep them alive and triving. All corals dipped in Coral RX pro, prior to hitting the tank, and climatized with a drip method to try to increase my success. Fed coral snow, and acan plus, brine, and mysis shrimp.

I had excellent success with LPS in my last set up, but this new build, is now using different lighting, (LED/T5) as apposed to (MH/T5) like last time. And no Bio pellets this time, just GFO, Carbon, Skimmer, filter sock, and Cheato. Will try to post some pictures.

Well, yah...you could say that NPS would be at the opposite spectrum of SPS, but even then, NPS require a strong water flow to maximize the amount of food particles they capture.
LPS and SPS are pretty general terms.
