Hi Guys, Care to help out an SPS guy?

Wondering if I have too much flow to keep an Acan Lord?

90g AGA tank.

Flow:
2x Tunze 6100's
Tunze Wavebox
about 800 GPH return on an OM 2 way.

Lighting:
2x 250w Phoenix 14k DE's
3x 54w T5 Actinic

Pretty clean water...
Barebottom, big skimmer, Ozone
 
Treg-

I have a 125 dominate SPS tank w/2 6100's Tunze, Deltec Skimmer.....clean water. 1 400w DE 20K & 2 250w DE 20K's.
I have lords & micros on the bottom & all seem to do pretty well. I did have a problem w/ 2 of my micro's receeding, but I am pretty sure it was from a Mg & Alk issue. Ever since everything has been fine.
I just tend to really keep an eye on my micros/lords & if I see anything looking strange I immediately test my water.
Be careful once you get 1 Acan the addiction sets in:)
 
I keep a few Acans and Micro's in my BB, high flow, sps tank. They do great. I don't blast them with flow or light though. I agree with racerw, addiction is possible :D
 
Thanks for the reply guys.

I think I am going to give a frag a try. :)

As a side not, Do any of you keep any Chalice?

I got a couple Chalice frags this summer, they were very nice when I got them but have browned out some for me. I have them low in the tank...
 
I found that my Aquascene Golden eye got really bright and incredible colors when I lowered it more in my tank. It could be that your nutrients and PO4's are high combined with having them under to much light...just a guess though.
