This is a good point, my blastos grow like crazy and I have a very healthy Aussie gold torch. Maybe I should just focus on what is doing well and let my tank do it’s thing.The corals would bleach on the flow side first. While some folks are able to set up sps tanks right away, fwiw, I couldn't keep sps in my first year and the somewhere in my second year I took another stab at it, and boom, they took. Nothing I could see or test was different. I attributed it to the maturing of the microfauna in the tank.
During that second year, I decided to take baby steps and stick with easier coral like frogspawn, duncans and candy canes. When they along with the softies had gotten established and started to take off, that's when I tried sps again.
I stopped focusing on what I couldn't keep and focused on what was doing well. That helped a lot with being patient and was a lot more enjoyable.
I do think I’m going to get rid of my flame angel though cause he is definitely picking at my sps.
