new to SPS,LPS, sorties. what additives/ what to dose.

Its called chemical warfare. Corals will littly kill other corals if competing for space. I had a tank that was starting to be taken over by cult coral. The coral ended up killing my SPS corals, even ones they were no were close to touching. Once I removed most of the cult coral, every thing was fine and I was able to keep SPS for long periods. That was till once again the cult coral started to take over the tank and killing more of my SPS corals. That's why when you see pictures of beautiful SPS tanks, they have very few soft corals. Now Im not saying you can't mix them at all, you just may not want to get a species that can over take the tank.

 

thanks! chemical warfare did sound familiar, I just didn't know what it was. man, LPS and SPS are both very cool
