Fox coral - I've always had luck with them in nano tanks

Sun Coral - although not LPS, in nano tanks which are usually nutrient rich, they do well. Plus, they're easier to feed in a nano

Acans

Blasto

   *Both acans and blastos don't have long sweeper tentacles like a lot of LPS. Under a PAR 38 bulb, you could get some great colors to pop on the acans

oh thank you.... 

I have very very limited coral knowledge,, the most ive ever had was a yuma that got HUGE, some mushrooms and some plain zoa's..

 

I cant wait to have some more colorful options...

 

now the biggest question is.. How in a nutrient rich system do I keep my phos at 0??? nitrites can go up to 30ppm which is considered acceptable for most LPS but how to keep the phos 0..hhrrmmm

Chemi Pure Elite and Phoslock/Phosban/Purigen (all basically do the same thing)

 

In my nano, I changed the Chemi Pure Elite bag every 2-3 months and the phoslock every month. You don't need that much phoslock so it lasts a while.

I've heard that acans change color under LEDs. I would do chalices, and some sweet shrooms and z&p's

LEDs just bring out their colors more that you wouldn't see with MH's or similar. I have a TON of acans under my LEDs, their colors have not changed.
