+2,on the parameters . Also I'm puzzled:scratch: how you can keep the low light corals and are trying to place higher light corals:smash: (that's not going to work). About the Acans, keep them all the way down when you first get them. Then adjust slowly (weekly) to preffered location. They don't mind nutrien rich water as long as you keep your Cal.+Alk a little higher than natural sea water they should be fine. In addition, nitrates will also need to be maintained Under 20ppm and phosphates under 0.03 (that should work for the lower light corals as they like a little phos in the water). For any further info, just pm. Goodn luck.
I definitely would use the money for an efficient skimmer first and avoid going cheap on that piece of equipment.+1 on the skimmer....
You'll do well without the MPXX. It would be nice to have one
The Acans I have enjoy a lower flow (unlike SPS). Also, i placed mine on a lower light area and I feed them occasionally. You should definitely keep an eye on Alk and Cal since they are my culprits of them not expanding at first... But without a skimmer, that leaves a few questions about your water parameters since you have no other means of exporting the excess nutrients (ie macro algaes?)
