Thanks man, I will deffinetley get a par meter and check my lights.I say buy or rent a par meter. Without testing for par, you're just guessing at lighting levels. I'm not too familiar withe the Red Sea 90 lights but, I can't imagine you're getting very even lighting with w 'spotlights' over a 4 foot tank. You might be cooking things right under the puck and starving things for light a foot away. Consider supplementing with t5 or adding more fixtures, particularly for acros. I would think plating montis should be fine with those lights. Keep your alk (between 7-8) and calc (between 400-450), and very stable. Clean up crew for algae problems. If things are really bad, think about trying a sea hare. They're algae eating machines. Be prepared to rehome when the tank is clean. Personally, I wouldn't spend too much on acros until you get things like montis, birds nests, pocillopora and stylophoras growing well.
