Does anyone have any soft corals in your ULNS system for SPS that you can't kill? I know ULNS is usually harsh to a soft coral, but I've seen some (like anthelia) that proliferate anyhow.
I'm wanting to experiment with a ULNS and using a soft coral system as a form of "reef refugium" combo. My main display is a 25g mixed, with a lot of SPS frags up top, LPS lower.
The more competition I have for what little phosphate/nitrate is produced in my tank, the better!!-- not to mention that I can enjoy some nice soft corals without killing my SPS.
Right now I dose Vitamin C and glucose, which both seem to work well. Nitrate is 0.0 (salifert) and phosphate is 0.05 or less (seachem). Soft corals grow slowly right now but nothing is in decline. LPS are the same story. Only GSP seems to grow undaunted, which is fine for me.
