The red flag I see is you mention a DIY reflector. This can reduce intensity greatly. Reflectors are so important to the overall light that reaches the tank. So while you may have a 250w MH, your not maximizing the potential output. You really want a lumenarc style reflector.
Actually I guess it's the same as having enough particles in the water. If there are enough particles, the polyps will probably be out all the time, no matter how much DOC food is available.
