Keeping leathers and SPS together is tricky, but possible. I have a big yellow tonga leather in with a bunch of SPS. As mentioned, the key is to run carbon, have good flow and good skimming. Having 150+ gallons of system volume doesn't hurt either.

On the other hand, I could have saved myself a lot of headache and just separated my softies and SPS, but I have absolutely no discipline when it comes to livestock purchases

With the issues I have been facing with cyano I decided to tear my tank apart, blow the the rocks and put it back together. What I did was put all my softies on one side of the tank and SPS on the otherside. This way I was able to place my vortech on the SPS side for powerful flow and a couiple small koralias on the softie side for a more gentle water area. It's only been a week so I'll see how it turns out
