Keep in mind Montis, Stylophora, Birdsnest, Digitatas, and Lepto/Pavona are all SPS. LPS and softies do use some phosphates as well.

I think that for me those corals are going to be for the future, I don't think that an AI Prime 16 can handle those corals

It can! Atleast in my little tank. My lepto and stylophora are doing great under the 16HD!

Most of the ones I mentioned are all medium light requirements. I keep some of my Leptos in the shade. Stylophora and Digitata are around the middle of my tank and the Monti Caps and encrusters are anywhere from top to middle of the tank. I'm probably pushing 205-225 at my brightest point.

I'm going to look for those, I need to fill some space but I want something that will survive, I don't want to put something there to die

Get a stylophora! They are incredibly easy to grow, and they grow very fast!

I have two purple "Milka" Stylos left in the old tank that I need to sell/transfer to the new tank and 1 Rainbow Stylo to transfer. I'm going to sell 1 of the Milkas, transfer the Purple, and then decide if I want to keep the other Milka or sell it as well.

If you decide to sell, let me know, get a quote for shipping and transportation and let me know.

It's worth less than the shipping costs, I promise.

You're in Florida? Are you near LRO?

@luis angel Jason Fox (JF) Klepto Lepto - kept in full shade in the old tank, sitting at maybe 75 par in this one. It'll get more when the lights get swapped eventually which will probably bring out more yellows and pinks, less red/orange.

Decent encruster. Pretty, slowish growth for a Lepto.
