Or like me, put your head close to the halide reflector and then stick your hand in the water and see if an arc forms between your forehead and the reflector.

And as I cant keep acro,s alive, I have no advice on why they dont grow. They grew fine in my 90g with a pair of 250,s but not with T-5,s. However when I was laid up, the frags I had kept were in my 20g with cheap T-5,s and all though browned out, grew well. I,m assuming because the nutrients levels were increased, from the lack of filtration, {no skimmer}.

I have done things the same and had failure and visa versa. So who the hell knows. Many who have lost their sps, seem to have absolutely no explanation for it. You seem to be doing the exact same as before, but must be some little thing thats not the same, that affects the growth of your corals. Esp. with someone of your experience.
