Recycling SPS tank water into Softie tank??


For about 2 months not I have been taking 5g from my SPS tank and using it for the 35g weekly WC. I figured that I skim the heck out of the 75 and since softies like a lil dirtier water I would try it for a while.

In the last 2 months I have seen faster growth and greater PE in the softie tank.

Has anyone else tried this?? Any concerns??? Thoughts???
