mixing corals

[nemo79]

After reading alot of articles on mixing corals my question is, I have a finger leather and a few lps, will this pose a problem. My list is in my sig and I run carbon 24/7 and change it every few weeks.

It shouldn't if you are running carbon 24/7.

I also found it useful to keep non-softies upstream of the leathers as opposed to downstream.

it shouldn't be a problem. you are already running carbon for the possible toxins the leather could exude, just make sure you properly place the lps within the tank. some lps can exhibit long sweeper tentacles that can reach far into a tank...especially in the flow of a powerhead, return, etc. so the proper placement of lps, especially euphyllia spp. (frogspawn) is crucial. i hope that helps.

I agree. I have my frogspawns on the opposite end of the tank from my toadstool leather.
