    you need to get the nitrates and phos under control. can you keep them probally but can tou keep them looking good and growing probally not. corals do not like nitrates that high and or phosphates that high.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Yes, however ideally the nitrates should be lower but yes you can. Try a water change before you buy them.
