    You could run GFO to help, or something like Seachem's Purigen. With that lighting you should be able to do acro's. I had a frag in mine last year that was thriving and the only filtration I had was water changes

    I've ran Chemi Pure in it before, never tried purigen though. Would I just use it kinda like bagged carbon? just drop it in the filter section?

    Thought I would take a turn and update. We added a couple pieces of acropora from the swap along with an acan and some zoas. The acros have been in the tank for about two weeks. I am working on getting some purigen running in there soon. We are hoping to add some rics and maybe an invert. I have been looking for a squat lobster. Any good invert ideas?

    Thanks you two. We were able to keep Hydnophora in this tank before, so thought we'd give acro a shot this time. So far there has been a little color fading in one but other than that they seem good.
