Have you gotten your lights ramped up?
Yes. Max intensity is 90% for 5 hours. Total light time is 9 hours. I should be getting my t5 fixture soon so I'll be adding that hopefully by next week.
 
Acans love being fed... mine are in a 20" cube with 2 Kessil 160s at 50% max. 4ppm NO3 and .08ppm PO4. Happy and healthy and making babies. Just fed the fish, a few acans caught some food.

I just measured 0.2 ppm PO4 with my ULR Phosphorus checker. I have a carbon/GFO reactor that I turned off a few days ago. I changed the media and within a day a group of zoas closed up and weren't happy. They're looking good again.

As you can see in the picture the other coral looks good.
