Can you tell us a bit more about your tank? Lighting, parameters, tank size? How many leathers do you have in the tank? If you have a lot of leathers in the tank it will make it very difficult to keep SPS corals from all the allelopathy (chemical warfare) the leathers produce.

Brandon, try contacting BillyR98(http://www.njreefers.org/joomla/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=26&action=profile;u=398). Last I knew he had a 30 breeder he wasn't using.
