Do Softies(Leathers) grow slower in my tank because........

[EmilyB]

It is apparently tough to get a good SPS/LPS/Softie combo tank.

The SPS of course want the purest of water, and lots of flow. The others like a bit more nutrient in their water I think, and some like a lower current.

Then there is light. A lot of softies won't thrive in a highly lit SPS tank.

That said, my tank was a softie LPS tank and I really liked it. I'm kind of regretting trying to make it something else. It's also going through a change now that I have removed so many of the LPS, more algae and a phosphate reading I've never had in four years. I don't know if that is why.

But I'm glad for your post, because now something I have been struggling with is clear to me. I don't want SPS in my 155g. It was fine the way it was......

Okay guys bring my corals back.....
