Currently an LPS & Softy tank… Could I look into SPS with these Parameters?

Parameters look decent 👍 I’m actually working on lowering PO4 myself, so I know that takes time. For me, the biggest factor with SPS has been stability over chasing numbers. Also, how long has the tank been running? Maturity and consistency made the biggest difference in my tank, I learned that one the hard way.

Just sharing my params for context. They’re not perfect and I’m not chasing numbers, still working PO4 down myself. For SPS, stability has mattered more than perfection, and I let the corals guide the adjustments.

Thanks @eljuno064 tank running 3 years. Shared image below. I try to keep everything within a range and not chase perfection on numbers

If you are having success with LPS then should be ok with SPS. Start with a birdsnest or stylophora those are more forgiving SPS and quite cheap

Thanks Everyone, i’ll take a look at some Beginner Friendly SPS. What would you recommend? Picture of tank up and running for 3 years now.

Your parameters look solid for starting SPS! Just keep an eye on phosphate since even small spikes can stress SPS in a nano setup. Birdsnest is a great call for beginnerseasy to place and they really show off color with good flow and lighting!

Do you have to pay to have magnesium and calcium added to the perimeter dashboard?

User Avatar @PrivateGump 71d

Yes as long as that is the stable parameters and not swinging big up and down
