Unhappy How many...

How many people are keeping LPS because they know that they are going to be moving their tank in the next year?

I would love to keep SPS, but I don't want to get them established, just to break them up to move them. And I have to say, feeding my brains is fun to do.

I keep LPS because honestly I think they are more interesting. I have some SPS too, and plan on getting more of both, but I think nice LPS lends so much more to a tank.

The colors, the way they move in the flow, the way they eat, and on and on and on. I just dont find many SPS that I like as much as nice LPS.

Well I will have to move my tank eventurally but it hasn't stopped me from getting SPS also.

I love LPS and SPS, and when I get my bigger tank (in a year or 1.5) then all the LPS will be going there along with some sps that can handle VHO, and my 29 gal will turn into my Sps tank.

The only softies I have are xenia and zoas, and some mushrooms to hide in the dark caves.

I keep mainly softies and LPS because I move my tank from my parent's house up to college every year.
