an epiphany...I Love LPS!

[kev apsley]

I have been a hardcore SPS collector for a few years and just recently have started acquiring exotic LPS. I must say they are soooooo colorful , lately I have been finding myself staring at my LPS acquisitions more than my SPS collection and I truly think I am now officially addicted to them...So my question is "is there any help for me? or will my wallet suffer even more?" Are there others out there who suffer from this addiction...Thank You for understanding my plight!

The addisction is everywhere, the way to break the addiction is to cut it off dry, give it away and run. If not, it will eat you alive......

Thats funny because I know former LPS lovers who have gone onto sps, and will most likely never look back.

LOL. Myself. My reef was meant to be mostly softies with a couple LPS thrown in for effect. Now they dominate the tank. And I'm quite upset that I only got a partial paycheck for this portion of the month. No new corals for a couple of weeks. God help me if I see another Favia or a Scoly!

kev apsley - Welcome to the even darker side!!! I used to think the SPS was expensive ... just hold on to your wallet and get ready for some real spending once you get hooked!!! I had too many issues in my one system with SPS pests, so that tank has been slowly turning over to LPS over the past year. It's now getting cleaned out of Montipora's, so that means more room for Aussie Acans and more eye candy Micromussa's!!!

I know many who leave sps for lps. The variety is so great. There are a couple sps that I love but for hte most part I to am an addict of lps. I grew up in a forrest so I have seen branches all of my life, I dont need to see many more.
