Sorry to jump in on your thread, I just want to clarify it for anyone who are just starting out in this hobby and possibly take this thread the wrong way.
Other than 'shrooms and a kenya tree and the Tyree toadstool, there aren't many softies in here.

Plate Coral, Several Frogspawns and a torch...there are some porites in there....which are in fact SPS...they were the organism I was most concerned about but even they still grew.

In my experience, most LPS do just fine in nigh nutrient environments.

I had just posted in the post above yours that most SPS would have 0 chance in this system as well.

It's also mentioned a couple times in other posts above...give it a read.

Definitely never hurts to state to obvious though...especially if you're concerned with newbies reading this thread.
