Differences or prefence between millipora sps and other stag like sps

[simon.007]

Hi,
I have been keeping lots of SPS (purple monsters, green stags, hoke) and montiporas (sunset, pokerstar...) but my milliporas seems more prone to RTN more often. Any word of advise? Does Milliporas like more flow? more lights, more ALK or higher PH?

Thanks for the Advise

FWIW I always gave my millis more flow and light than my other acros when possible. I never had too many problems with them.

Its usually STN.

IME from the base up its from phosphate. Bomber once told me to check if the base of the skeleton is green. This was an indicator that PO4 was being wicked up into the coral. Have you checked your po4 with a hanna meter?

Excellent info. I will check.

Thanks

IME once I added more flow my millies started to do great.
