Thinking seriously about switching from sps to softy and lps. I got the idea first from seeing The Binford's piece of art in the living room that was packed with lps and soft corals, but not too much. I'd like to get close to that, but not sure what I'm in for. Any advice would be appreciated.
1.Do I still dose alk and calcium for soft and lps corals? Are the number ranges the same for sps and soft corals?
2. I remember reading once that soft corals have a chemical they release and can foul a tank. Any truth or experience with that?
3. In your opinion, Should I just keep soft corals or is it acceptable to keep lps too?
4. Is there a store that has the best selection of Soft Corals around S.E. Michigan (Between Preuss West and Stingray Bay East, Kees North and Tropicorium South? My radius has grown in the last year.
5. Are there colorful soft corals out there that are photosynthetic?
6. Do you feed Soft corals the same way you feed sps or is fish poop and light enough?
Also, should I sell my huge colonies whole or break them up as fresh cut?
Thanks and feel free to add anything I might need to know.
