Welcome to AC! Always nice to see new reefy faces around here.
I've been keeping montipora and porites for a little over a year. All I do is make sure the Ca is close to 450 and alkalinity is above 3. Plus I feed about 2-3 times a week with a homemade coral chow. Most of the Ca and alk comes from a kalkwasser/vinegar drip, but I have to supplement with B-Ionic. I finally have all the parts for my Ca reactor, and maybe I'll find time to build it.
The digitata grow really nicely, and I have had to give frags away regularly.The capricornis grows incredibly fast, sucking down Ca like there's no tomorrow. I am having to restart the cap from a small frag, though. My colonies bleached right before moving to the new tank this summer.
I have just started with acropora. I went to pick up some stuff from a friend a few weeks ago, and he "forced" me to take home a pile of frags.
