Acropora's turning green

[SilverBulletPRN]

So this is interesting, initially I had acro's browning out then STN/RTN because it wasn't getting enough light and flow, now that I have my lights upgraded and have more flow on them, almost every single color morph of acro's I get just turns green, like bright bright green instead of whatever colors they originally came in (pink, purple, yellow, etc). What am I missing here?

Current setup is:
Reefer 200 XL
Radion G6 Blue's
ReefBrite XHO
Nero 5 and Nero 3

Alk 8.1
Nitrates 24
Phosphate 0.08

There is potentially a lot of answers as to why your acros are turning green. Everything from lighting to nutrients. Here's a rather large thread from a few years ago where someone else had the same question.
I suggest sending out a water sample for ICP testing.

Nice! I'll check that out, sounds like a pretty common issue

This is a common issue mostly seen with light issues. Like the other member mentioned, it can also be from a variety of different deficiencies
