As I begin to keep more SPS and sway away from beginner corals after several years I find myself wondering if I should ditch my old softies. When I restarted my 90 gallon 3 years ago I initially bought some of the confidence boosting softies which Ive had for a number of years like a green tip toadstool, a little xenia and some other branching tree type leather. As you can imagine, years later these soft corals are fairlly big.
Over the past year and a half I have also kept more and more SPS, and set up my stystem more for them ie dosing alk and cal with dosers, running gfo, halide lighting etc. I've had great success with monti caps, pocilopora's, birdsnests and more of the beginner sps corals. It seems as SPS is all I buy or add to the system anymore. As they grow they get closer to the softies and after reading I wonder if I should just get rid of the softies due to the possibility of them inhibiting growth in my SPS. I do run carbon, but I feel like my SPS would benefit from removing the softies.
What do you all think?
