tolerable corals for high nitrates

twiggyb · 02/09/2010, 07:15 PM

What corals can handle high nitrates around that area other than zoas? I don't have a skimmer, and I haven't added any life to the tank because of the nitrates. Any suggestions on corals?

I like mushrooms, but is that it? I'd like to have more of a variety, I guess there's no getting around trying to bring the nitrates down.
