ULNS & softy tanks

My thinking now is that yes softies tolerate high nutrient systems but they do not thrive in them like some people think. Well many softies are found in pristine reef waters around the world, so they obviously do like clean water.

Im super happy about them doing so well because now this means I can start to get some diversity in my tank again instead of having a wall of sps. I sold off many of my softies thinking they would not do well in a low nutrient system

Thanks. Good to hear.

My softies have shown not very good signs since going ZEO and i've started to remove some. Some though have been fine like my torch and frogspawn.
