Can I see some softy/lps tanks?

I am deciding on dumping the SPS corals because I dont have any luck with them.

All softy/LPS tank I have seen are brown or green. To me that is boring,

Pics please to convince me otherwise.

Not sure if mine is boring or not, but I like it either way.

Here's some more pics: http://www.reefs.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.p ... os#1216646

P.S. That picture makes me cringe at how dirty the tank was and how bad the picture came out. But with the good comes the bad. I'm happy with the tank, not so much the picture.

What is the main difference in husbandry of a LPS/Softy compared to a SPS tank?

I only have a couple pictures. I think you have seen my other pic. Be careful what you purchase as things get out of hand. and Its hard to go back once you start.

What is the main difference in husbandry of a LPS/Softy compared to a SPS tank?

A lot more forgiving, less flow, possibly less light needed, a little more room between corals, depending on how many softies - running carbon more often. That's all I can think of right now.

IMO a softy tank requires less skimming, less flow, less elctricity, less perfect water parameters in general. I rarely tested Ca/alk. on this tank.
I think that if a person shops wisely a beautiful softy tank can be easily accomplished. If you throw a 20k bulb in your pendant most any softy with potential should color up.

Thanks! :roll:

What is the main difference in husbandry of a LPS/Softy compared to a SPS tank?

I think main difference is concluded in mode of the maintenance Ca and KH.
For softy, the most optimum is a contents Ca - 350 ppm, KH - 7.
In well functionning aquarium with soft coral, this enough easy obtain, not having nor what reactor Ca, it is enough small additives Kalkwasser.
The flowing must be more weak, than in aquarium with hard coral.

My english is not very good, excuse me.

Your english seems fine to me.. I'm sure everybody here understood exactly what you are saying.. I'm always impressed with people who can speak more than one language since I'm so terrible at it..

As for the tank, that's just how I want mine to look.. Full of life and lots of colors.. Very awesome tank..

I think I am going to switch my tank over to softies/LPS. I need to sell off my SPS that I have.

Who sells quality colorful LPS/Softies? I can trade I guess as well. I got some really nice SPS that will probably return to their natural colors in a better tank.
