I just voted based on my main tank, which is a LPS-dominated mixed reef.

Used to be SPS dominated, but not now, but hopefully one day soon enough again.

I don't really think of my tanks as anything one specific right now. Definitely what I'd call a "mixed garden". Or even in some cases, anemone dominated (no corals even). I guess an anemone is a sort of softie.

I should have said ----what is your favorite SW tank you have? I have more than one as well. My refugium is also a softie tank.

It depends which one I worked on this week. My favorite is the one that has nice clean glass, nonstinky protien skimmer, nice sparkly clean water and happy corals. At the moment it's the softie tank, I just did a 50% water change, put in a new sand bed, cleaned the powerhead and added an anemone

I'm surprized at how many sps tanks there are. I keep hearing from the stores that nobody is into sps and they don't like bringing it in. I thank them for thinking that, it helps my frag sales.

I keep hearing that too, but, as you said, I think that's not really accurate.

Mind you, frags from coral prop guys are a better choice anyhow.

Favorite, FOWLR. Had my SPS tank doing well but it did nothing for me. The little begging eyes do it for me.

I hear this too, which I agree is odd. Oh well, I have no complaints about buying off you. The stuff that comes out of your tank is...well um WOW!

My choosing SPS in the polls was primarily based on the number of different species I have. Many of my SPS corals are still considered frag sized, but I have more of them. My LPS and softies are bigger corals and tend to be more apparent than much of the SPS frags so I could have voted the other way. The swing vote was my caps which are even more apparent in my tank than anything else, so SPS dominated it is I guess.
