So I can keep Acro's, Millie's, Starfish, Urchins, Stylo's, Lepto's, Acans, Chalice's, Echinopora's, Scoly's, Goniopora, BTA, Aussie Gold Torch, and polyps..... but I can't seem to keep any of the fancy Montipora's alive!? What the "F" is up with that?
I kept them just fine in a 30 gallon tank and now in my 120 I don't seem to be able to keep one without a major struggle for more than a couple of months. My water parameters are fine..... other than a faulty pump that added too much ALK, so that certainly could be a cause, but other than that, everything is within recommended levels.
Anyone else have these issues? So far, I've been unsuccessful with a Superman, Purple Haze, a Orange with Green Polyp and a Blue with Green Polyp (Sorry the names escape me). It's frustrating because all of the other corals are doing well and growing and yet, these always seem to have a problem.
Anyone else? Ideas?
Thanks so much for your thoughts,
Mike
