Post Cycling - Adding fish & invertebrates?

Some soft coral inhibit the growth of LPS and SPS corals. while other soft corals exude exsesive amounts of slime (which can smother LPS and SPS corals).

In that case is it a better idea to maintain an sps/lps only tank or just sps corals or just lps corals?

I have been struggleing with all My SPS in my tank. With in 5 days of trading in my Toadstool softie all my SPS started looking great.
I would have to say that many people have been successful with both Soft coral and SPS, but my tank can not have both It could be because of water flow or the fact it is only 75G. But I've tried everything proir to getting ride of my soft corals.

Jason, when you say struggled do you mean growth or they were dying?

You can place your SPS and LPS uptream from your softies so the chemicals flow away and not toward them and running carbon can mitigate the chemical warfare. You won't avoid al challenges but it can be a successful strategy.
