Because sps typically requires pristine clean nutrient poor water, and lps typically requires semi dirty, nutrient rich water. Its possible to keep both but it requires fine tuning of feeding and stripping the water clean.
I'll play. 300 gallon tank, T-5's. Plumbed together with another 300 gallon stoney coral tank (in another room). This tank is all soft corals except for a couple of plate corals on the sand that seem to do better under T-5's and a suncoral in the bottom corner of the tank (because I actually feed this tank 4-5 times a week).
FTS
Mixed shrooms, palys, fans, etc
My oldest coral. Got this one as a single "finger" when I was in college (around 1990)
Big shroom and some palys I collected about 10 years ago (been fragged many, many times)
Middle of the tank
Most recent addition. Traded some freshwater plants for this one. Could be a weed!
Orange Ricordea seem to do extremely well in this tank
Thank you but that is actually just a colt coral( a bit retracted cuz the day light was down for about an hour when the photo was taken) no feeding required on that one. The carnation that i do own i just keep in a high flow area and target feed some phytoplancton every few days.
