What's so difficult about table acros..?

I have 6 tables in my 180 under 250's with flow from tunzees. The red Hyacinthis seem to grow the best for me.

Cool!...pics?!?! :D
 
I do not have a camera but will try to get my brother over to take pic's. I believe the big red is aprox. 16 inches front to back and widest point of widgth about 10 inches. The smaller one which I frag often is about 5 x 8, also had a 3rd but fragged it. This table has been tanked aprox. 12 years and everybody that I sold frags to seem to do fine with them.
 
I have an A. Latistella growing very well on the bottom third of my tank. It was purchased as a frag. Mother colony was collected at 60' in Fiji. The frag has done very well adopting a nice tabling shape. It really depends on the kind of acro. Hyacinthus requires high flow and lighting. However others, such as the A. Latistella, will tolerate lower amounts of both and still grow into a nice, compact table like form. This particular colony is a bright neon green w/ purple tips.
 
Here is my hyacinthus . IMO these are the hardest to keep of the table acros . Mine needs to be blasted by light and needs lots and lots of flow here is a pic.
