Slowly filling tank. At a loss for what to add higher up. Currently have 2 aquaknight 30w above tank. Here is setup.

The PAR levels will determine what you can grow. Have you checked?
 
Personally some of my favorite high light corals are stylophora. There are many different colors like neon's, purples, and blues.

Don’t have a par meter. Just going off others with same lights readings. I’ve had a nem doing fine half way up tank with current setup although he’s recouping now after a Dino fight.

I was thinking rock flower nems? Any lps that need a lot of or decent light?
 
I'm not sure about a rock flower but i'm pretty sure most lps will do good with medium light if they're slowly acclimated to the new light. Some of my favorite lps are gonipora, alvepora, duncans. Matter of fact I think a leptorisis would do well in high light, but that's just a guess.
 
Montipora capricornis? These are usually cheap, easy to come by and come in a wide variety of corals. There also real easy to manipulate as far as growth goes. Maybe put a couple of these up top to kind of gauge your lights and go from there? There's a lot of LPS corals that can work too, but do some research first. Most of them need a "wide birth" so to say. Ultimately though it's just a waiting game, kind of like putting a puzzle together. Be prepared to move any coral you get someplace else if need be. GL.
