My blue tip acropora is turning white.... Need some advise to correct this problem.

Post all the vitals about your system:
how long established
lighting
filtration
water chemistry
circulation
all info possible on the coral
Lots of folks here can provide assistance but we'll need additional info.
Based on what I've seen so far I can't even begin to guess.

Sounds like water parmiters or lighting may be a problem , ive saved a few corals from a lfs where they were bleached out pretty bad but a month under good conditions and they werer looking good.. post your specifications on tank and lighting.

My tank is 92 gallon established for 8 months with a 400 watt MH and a Tide Pool wet/dry filter.
Phosphate = .1
pH = 8.4
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
calcium = 630 (I think this is very high)
Bi-weekly 25% water changes
Please help! The coral is getting whiter as we speak.
Thanks!

Hey how far did you put the coral from the light? When you got it did you ask the store owner what the light source they are are siting under??? If they store use light source that is weeker than your, you should put your coral further/deeper away from your light. Every week move it a bout 5 inch closer to the light source.
Buy a light meter.

The LFS had it at the top of their 150 gallon tank with a 1000 watt MH. So I assumed that it would be OK to place the coral at the top of my tank.
