So a little info about the tank before I get into my question. The tank is a seapora 80g shallow, running a 40 breeder for a sump. I'm running a clarisea sk-3000, simplicity 240dc skimmer and a return pump. Nothing else fancy down below. Lighting is a ATI 6 bulb T5 fixture ~10" over the tank (bulbs are all new), and water movement is 2x MP40s set to anti-sync lagoon mode plus the vectra return. Tank has been up for 2 years this month. Included a recent ICP test that showed everything within normal levels except iodine.
Parameters:
DKH - 8.2
CA - 430
MG - 1350
Po4 - 0.08
No3 - 14-15 (pretty steady)
I have tried a handful of acro frags from different places, and a milka stylo as well and I nothing seems to do well except montis. Some will do fine on the frag rack, great polyp extension and what not, then as soon as I move them to the rocks they shed tissue. Usually death within a few days. I have a red monti cap that looks great, monti spongodes that looks good, and recently added a green cap that's showing growth already. What am I overlooking here?
