Well after wanting to get into SPS for a bit now over a year patiently waiting fo the tank to mature and growing LPS/softies in it I have converted it into a system ready SPS IMO. so the seedling of my new SPS came in and are doing quite well I think full polyp's out and no RTN/ STN after a week of being in the system so now I am ready to place them in the system on the rocks and not just on the egg crate.
just a quick look nothing spectacular just yet give me a few months and we will see what they look like.

That is really great to see another reefer get bit by the SPS bug, you will hopefully not regret the road ahead :) They look really nice! But just remember, soft corals can release terpenoid's or sarcophine compounds into the water column as a means of chemical warfare so always make sure to keep plenty of distance between neighboring corals. Never hurts to run carbon either. Enjoy your pretty sticks, once the bug bites ya it can be a fun ride :)
