    i find that millipora does real for me, I rarely test for anything, do a water change once a month.. feed once a week.

    There is no such thing as as an "easier" SPS. All have the same basic requirements. Some are more forgiving yes, but if you can keep one you can keep almost all of them.

    acropora is by far the hardest coral to keep in captivity, it requires more then any coral i have kept, i have had more acro deaths then any other coral now, that being said, salt mixes and other chemicals are ready available now more then ever before, making it easier to keep but, it still presents more challenge to me than any other coral. all acros are different, some require more light then others and water quality seems to come into play also with different types, its a hit and miss game with them, all i know is i want them in my tank and have had my share of losses with them. to me they are what reef keeping is about, i will continue to keep them as long as there is a tank in my house.

    FWIW constantly blasting SPS with flow will cause no poylp extension.
