Monti's grow like crazy, Acros die??

[dragonladylea]

Ok, my Monti's, Echino's, Danae and Paly's grow like crazy, my zoos don't grow or grow super slow and as far as keeping Acro's forget it other than the pink digi frag I have. My green slimer is bleaching from the bottom up. Using 14k 175w MH and all the water parameters are great except for the nitrates at about 15. What am I doing wrong??

Monti can be found in lagoons ... acros are from reef crests. Acros are very hard to keep, Montis not so much. I suggest you look into things such as water parameters, light, and flow.

some acros are from reef crests, however the vast majority of the the species we have in our aquariums were NOT collected from reef crest. They range widely in their water flow and light requirements.
