What are some of your favorite non-SPS-focused tanks? Let's see those awesome tanks that are not acro-dominant!

I'm a sucker for SPS tanks and acro-dominant mixed reefs! I love 'em! However, some soft coral, LPS, and NPS tanks are mind-blowing! Absolutely gorgeous!! So, let's show those tanks some love!! Post up your favorite non-SPS-focused tanks! (That doesn't mean they don't have any SPS, just that SPS isn't the dominant coral type.)

Let's see those awesome reef tanks!! (Bonus points if you post a link to their tank thread!)

One of the first ones that comes to mind is @Dragon Lee NPS tank. That is one absolutely incredible tank.

not sure of anyones specific tanks but SPS is the least appealing coral IMHO. if it weren't difficult would ppl actually want them?

I'd go softy or LPS over SPS every day of the week.

I've still got to add some more corals with mine. I'm going to try to keep all stoney corals (even LPS) out of the tank. I'm just going to embrace the easy to keep pest corals, let them take over the whole tank. Going to be interesting to see the results in a year or two once I've added more and everything's grown in.

Going to be a cool tank too once it is filled with coral!

That's the hope! I'm probably going to fill about 1/3rd of it with Xenia and Kenya tree, another third with leathers, and then various polyps and anemones scattered around.

Interesting idea. I have some GSP, maybe I should frag it and put some up on the back of the tank.

Yeah, I'm definitely curious to see how it all plays out for you!

Here are a couple I maintain that aren't SPS dominated

Holy cow. That first one is amazing. Literally my dream tank.

Oh, thank you very much. I recently had to take that tank down due to a remodel, but I moved the leathers and hammers to another system because I loved the look. Very fluffy and wavy. Antithesis of a stick tank
