Not too much action on the board since yesterday....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thus I have never had this much light in a system and would like to get into the higher light corals...!

I keep two acropora in my tank with VHO and flourecent lighting. I keep the all the way at the top with the tips of their branches a couple of inches below the surface. THey seem to do fine there and there polyps are always extended.

Correction: VHO and PC lighting

Thanks for your reply... What kind of Acros are these and what colors might these be...?

the WPG rule is misleading and i refuse to get into hat arguement again. just make sure you have the right wavelenghts and you should be fine in that tank. i used to keep both clam and acros in a VHO tank for 9 months till i upgraded.
