Hello,
I've been in the hobby now, on and off for about 20 years, and I've concluded that I want to keep a SPS-dominant tank. So here's my plan. SPS is my priority. I do fancy some LPS corals, especially the scolys and meat corals, trachyphyllia corals in general. I can live without other LPS like hammers, corals, frogspawns, and whatnot but I'm curious, based on people's experience with a mixed-reef tank, what kind of LPS corals have fared well for you in an SPS-dominant tank? I'm trying to get a reading on what I can get away with so that I can maximize my purchases.
Please keep in mind I am doing a bare-bottom tank, so sand will not be an issue.
I was thinking I could create a cove area(s) with the rock work to reduce flow and light, and house the LPS in that(those) area(s). What are your thoughts? I mean l LOVE SPS, that's top priority, but I do like me the scolys and meat corals.
