I've come to a decision...
I've decided to take the tank back to being LPS/Softy only. My clam died over the weekend. I have a terrible infestation of the little white snails--and I think that's what finally did him in.
I've never had luck with the sticks (SPS)....can't seem to get them epoxied or glued in place that they like, or--if I find a good place, they don't stick and fall down in the rockwork...
SOOOOO.....I'm going with the wavy, flowy things along with my zoos and rics.....

Jodi-
That's awful about your clam  I've not had any luck with sticks, either. But what I have is LPS and softies, and I love them! (Does hair algae count in that group? It's soft and wavey ...  )
Go for it, my friend. And enjoy

Jodi,
There's nothing wrong with that. There are lots of nice softie tanks out there. More movement with softies and lps's anyway.

I am very sorry to hear of your clam and luck with "sticks". Somehow I did not realize you were having trouble with them.
I do not think there is anything wrong with your decision. As you know I have the 90 dedicated to LPS and Soft corals and only the 58 for SPS.
What do you plan to do with your existing SPS? Duane, JnS, MJSandbe, ....? 
If a LPS/Soft corals tank can not get TOTM, there is something wrong with the reefing world! |

what about this TOTM.  we just look for nice systems, do not care if they have sticks or squishes i them. do whatever you have the most success with. i do not have good success with softies, so i went with sticks. those softy tanks are much more relaxing to watch, everything flowing in the current, great stuff!!!
