I have 2 eastier types of pora to care for and there doing well, but I'd like to try some acros, any chance some of the members here can provide some insight on their care? I do realize there difficult to keep and I'm looking to improve my knowledge on them so that I perhaps might be successful with one.

A little write up I did on SPS corals.... Particularly favoring acros.

probably the BEST advice I could offer is keep things STABLE. Even if your parameters are a little off...
KEEP THEM STABLE
ALK
Ca
Mg
and Temp.

I would START with this and read up from there. If you have an iDevice get Coral Mag app and read them through:) let the learning BEGIN!
 
nutient removal is most important, after stability of basic ALk, Mag, Calcium, and somewhat temp............

:_) agree
 
With out proper lighting, all other efforts are wasted...
I don't think that there is ONE important factor. There are many. Finding the balance is key.
 
Intense lighting & random flow are also basic needs.........just a given at this point.

400 WATT MH & Tunze or Vortechs...
