For me a couple things, the short answer is I havent seen a tank like Dang's in awhile. Those tanks always inspire me to keep SPS.
Mostly, sps has become quite common in the hobby in the last couple years. The days of allowing your reef to establish a year before starting sps are long gone. People now are doing sps as their first corals in a 3 month old tank. All the softies and leathers are skipped over and I was starting to miss them. I do like the movement of the corals shaking in the current. I want to also downgrade my lighting for two reasons: lower power bill, and I want a more dim looking tank. Lower light corals kinda fit right in. Also I really like tanks that have no visible live rock, and xenia is a quick way to achive that.
It makes sense to me:lol:
