Ok,
I have a question. I have a 400W Metal Halided running with 20,000k and 2-96w power compacts runing 50-50 10,000k-actinic. And two lunar lights. Now, I have had several trial frags of Acropora and montapora's. All I ever get is bleacing and death.

I run a boat load of Phospate remover, and Nitrates get no higher then 5-10ppm (usually)

What is goin on? Too much light? It was green acro.
