gorgonian care

I love this coral and wish I had better success keeping it alive.
I am starting a seahorse & pipe fish tank.
I am hesitant to add another seahorse until I have some better better corals for a seahorse to attach to.
The tank is approx 35g - about 24x30x18height.
It has a nano wave box which I am considering removing, as it creates a bit more flow than needed. The return provides sufficient flow. I also have a 30 gallon refugium and a bubble magus skimmer.
For lighting I have 14k 150w metal halide with two ATI blue plus T5's.
Basically - SPS doing great, LPS doing great, fish doing great, zoos & ricordea's doing great - gorgonian's withering away.
I feed DTS's four times per week, rotifers, cyclops, mysis, coral frenzy - every day.
Phosphates are zero.
Nitrates are about 1 to 5.
Everywhere in the tank is pretty high flow.
