What corals in stock IM Nuvo 8?

[Velodog2]

Added one to the family at Christmas and just starting to stock. With the standard 8 watt light what have pple been able to keep in the way of corals?

I'm guessing all softies and polyps will be a go. Acros I won't even try. In between are the LPS like acans and hammers, and lower light SPS such as birdsnest and montis.

Anyone tried these? How did it work out?

I just started the cycle on my IM Nuvo 8 today. I'll be following this thread.

Not getting much response. Found reference in another thread of a MrCoffee successfully keeping zoas, frogspawn, and favia with the stock lights.

I've put a mushroom, a ricordia, and xenia in mine so far. Also a small frag of montipora just as an experiment, although I wasn't really thinking about the lack of flow with just the stock return pump plus the swirly thing that IM sells. That could be as much of an issue as light.

Hate to bring a threaf back from the dead, but how did this go? Were you able to grow much with the stock light?
