Think of all the time you will save though......

I would actually buy it if it not only measured EVERYTHING but kept EVERYTHING at perfect levels ALWAYS regardless of what stupid things i did to the tank.

THAT would be a bargain

With regular water changes and keeping things tidy you don't have to measure much. Salinity of course is a must as well as temp but once things settle down even just nitrates are something to keep an eye on.

You heavy duty folks with more than softies have a lot more to worry about but us fish and xenia dudes are set with patience on our side.

im mixed up about what softees are, i know they are the leathers, i have 3 of those, but i heard someone say mushrooms are softees too??
if thats the case shouldnt xenia be a softee??
if all the above are softees then i have a 90% softee tank

im a compulsive tester i think

you have yourself a bunch of softies then pastina! soft corals are all the ones with out a hard calcerious (sp) skeleton. zoos, mushrooms, xenias, leathers, trees, and lots of other stuff too. you might just have a 100% softtank.

zoo's too?

if it wasnt for that candy cane coral then yep id be 100% softee
guess mr candy cane is the black sheep of the family
