For the life of me I cannot keep Monti Caps! I have other SPS corals that are growing well no worries (picture shown of a neon acro (ID?) doing fine) but Monti's slowly turn white and eventually loose all their tissue within a week, top left hand of the full tank shot - under the leather taken a few days before it went white.
I have the following setup: 50g corner (24x24x30), closed loop, VorTech pump (4000 gph total main display flow) Eco-Phos in phosban reactor, ASM G1 skimmer, 250MH 14K phoenix, 24" Attinic PC's, 20g sump/ref, Miracle Mud and Cheato, RK2.
Latest Water parameters: 4/21/08
Temp 77ยบ
Sal 1.024
CA 430
Alk 10.3
Mag 1350
Phos 0.0? (must be a little high as I have diatoms)
Nitrites 0
Nitrates 0
Ammo 0
Last time I took three small frags and placed them in three different locations in the tank and still no cigar. I believe I heard that potassium may help is this true and if so how much? If not does any one have any ideas?
