Hi all, for my tank I have decided to start with the lowest maintenance corals, softies, but eventually I would like to move onto some simpler LPS corals. My question is, how much more demanding are LPS corals compared to soft corals? I know I’ll have to start monitoring for PO4 and alkalinity and calcium whereas for softies it’s usually just stuff like Strontium, Magnesium etc.
Any requirements for tank maturity or can they be inserted at any stage like many softies?
What equipment do I need for LPS that I don’t need for softies? And what LPS corals are the best for a beginner?
When you moved from softies to LPS, how big of a leap was it in difficulty?
Thanks!
