Yes you can.I have a softie tank and would like to add some sps, right now I have a small monti cap frag. Any tips or suggestions on species or type?
What grows the fastest?Yes you can.
Since your just starting out i suggest montis. I really like the digi montipora.
most species of birdsnest are very easy as well. Frags are usually super cheap if not free so maybe try some of those.I have a softie tank and would like to add some sps, right now I have a small monti cap frag. Any tips or suggestions on species or type?
This all depends on a lot of things. For me, some of my supposed harder SPS grow faster than the easy ones.What grows the fastest?
My digis are extremely fast growing for me but I don't have anything to compare tooThis all depends on a lot of things. For me, some of my supposed harder SPS grow faster than the easy ones.
Usually, montis grow fast, as do slimers. Digis are a slow grower for me, but super fast for others.
If you keep a more whiter tank purple digi is really cheap. I can find a frag for about $10 they only look great in whiter lit tanks.I have a softie tank and would like to add some sps, right now I have a small monti cap frag. Any tips or suggestions on species or type?
Last time I checkedYup, you sure can. Just be aware that when you get the bug and load up the tank with sticks, more alk and calcium will be consumed. This will either mean more frequent water changes or dosing of 2 part or some other form of adding those back to the tank.
For good starters in SPS I suggest Montis, digis or the good ole green slimer.
Just for giggles, as it is a softie tank, do you know your basic parameters? Alk, Calcium, NO3, PO4 and Mag?
Just want to make sure you are not going to throw money away if they are really high or low.
How long ago and those are solid numbers.Last time I checked
Alk 9
Cal 460
Mag 1400
Then I say try an easy one and once it start to spit new growth/fully encrust, work your way up.I also keep
Duncans
Frogspawn
Fat head Dendros
you can keep sticks i have no doubt about it.I also keep

I’m colorblind so it’s been a while haha. I have a lot of coralline so I add soda ashHow long ago and those are solid numbers.
What tests are you using and what colors do you have issues with.I’m colorblind so it’s been a while haha. I have a lot of coralline so I add soda ash
If you can sustain a healthy coralline population then you can grow easy sticks. I know that i cliche, but mostly true. Keep thing stable and SPS will grow in anything. I even grow them in a macro tank lol. Most are now brown, but they grow.I’m colorblind so it’s been a while haha. I have a lot of coralline so I add soda ash
Uh… I have cheap leds off Amazon and I change water once a monthIf you have enough light a couple sps will do fine in a softie tank. Heck they may even force to to be better with maintenance.
Digi are really a fantastic sps. Purple, green ,reds and loads of inbetween you can't go wrong. Will give you a feel of acros with a hardier spsUh… I have cheap leds off Amazon and I change water once a month
