Slightly lower par. We’ve had it for a long time and it does very well in a multitude of habitats

slightly unrelated question... I want to get into SPS, and I’ve got an LPS/softie tank rn with nitrates between 20-30ppm... what do I need to do to make my tank hospitable to SPS?

Lps/softie tanks usually have different care requirements than sps tanks. We recommend some of the hardiest aquacultured sps to start

Try a bit lower nutrients with water changes, there are really easy sps like montipora digitata and stylo. acros are a bit harder but green slimer and cali tort are probably the easiest

better to lower nitrate down to 10 for sps. You can do that with weekly water change and if needed dose redsea NOPOX. How about your phosphate level? should be below 0.01 for sps

i’ve got unreadable phosphate levels, but my nitrates always run high. my LPS don’t seem to mind but obviously that’ll be different for SPS. I do 20% water changes weekly
