I saw an article recently and was wondering if there's any truth. essentially the hypothesis was that Acan class LPS will not do well in mixed reefs with Soft corals. I've got a massive 12-14" Toadstool, a 10-12" rock covered in GSP and a large colony of Xenia in my 350 gallon display. With that I've got SPS - several types of Acros doing well.
My Acans that I've had for 2 years ,Haven't grown well. Their feeders are out at night and since reducing my phosphates they look a lot healthier in the last 2 months. But, At this rate, I'll be 90 before they're a 2 inch ball.
Is there something about GSP, Xenia, and a toadstool that would influence the water chemistry so much that Acan class of corals won't grow?
My Candy Canes, Hammers are all growing new heads and have look great! It's what prompted me to give the information any credence. . . I've had ICP tests done. Nothing wrong with my water chemistry other than phosphates, which I dealt with over a 3-4 month period. My water's never been cleaner now!
