Besides lighting, make sure you have strong flow (although not direct flow on coral), and great water quality. This means proper alk, Ca and some people measure Mg as well. Mg has just been a recent concern in the last few years, so I couldn't tell you what my levels were when I had my "steroid tank". I do know I had to throw frags in the garden because I couldn't give enough away.
feel free to throw them in my garden anytime
