Hey guys pretty new to this platform so bare with me an thank you in advance.

I currently have a soft coral Dominant tank and was wanting to switch over to LPS and easy SPS coral and was wondering what steps I would have to take to facilitate this change.

Will it be as easy as pull the soft coral out and start with the LPS/SPS or will I need to change up some of my equipment and the Rock scape that I currently have in the tank.

Current tank:
Tank: Aquaone Mini Reef 120 (Size:60cmW X 45cmD X 45cmH Vol. (Liters):120).
Light: Ecotech Radion g5 pro
Skimmer: Red sea RSK 300.
Dosing pump: Kamoer 5 head dosing pump.
Wave Maker: Maxspect Jump 2k Gyre.
Return Pump: standard one that came with the tank.
ATO: Auto Aqua
Sand: No idea came with the setup when I bought it but is quite a small grain size.
Tank Age: about 1 year and 8 months since initial setup.

I have attached pictures of the current tank to the post.
The rock scape is just rocks I stacked up.

Sorry for the late reply.

My test results are:

Salinity: 1.025

Salifert:
Alkalinity: 6.9
Calcium: 380
Magnesium: 1155

Hannah:
Nitrate: 0.5
Phosphate: 0.05

I try to keep my temp between 25.5C and 25C but sometimes it can go up 1-2C.
I live in Australia so it is hard to keep the temp consistent on a small tank.
