Fudsey's 135.4 Box of Water

[JFLU]

Question guys
How can I get my montis to color up better then they are now.

Mg, 1460
Ca, 450-460
Alk, 8.5

All my Parameters look pretty good.
NO3 is 15
PO4 .018

Also I’m not feeding the tank at the moment to get the nitrates to come down

What are you running for lights?

You beat me to it

Hydra 26 hd
They colored up good for a while and the tank kinda got off track and haven't colored up again. It’s been about 2-3 months since that problem happened.

Well me and montis have a love hate relationship....

Best thing I can say is try either turning them down or up a little and see if they respond in a few days. I'd try down 1st though.
@Crabs McJones @Flippers4pups do you have anything more to add? You 2 have a couple great looking Montis

Remember that healthy growing corals isnt only about the lighting but what settings are you running on your hydra 26?

My app won’t let me connect to the light for some reason but here’s a screen shot of it from a week ago. UV is at 47 now. When I was visiting Cali kid corals he recommend raising the UV. So my goal was to get it to 50 he recommended higher but I’m content with 50

This is my rendition of BRS's attempt at duplicating the radion AB+ spectrum using the hydra26hd's ...

I havent had sps yet. But another option is the David Saxby schedule.

YouTube hydra 26hd AB+ on the BRSTV channel and watch the video.

I run a variation of what WWC runs but I also run t5s too...

I have tried the brs AB+ Setting but my corals didn’t like it. All of my acros have really go polyp extension with what I’m running and they are starting to more color as they are growing out. Just my Monti aren’t getting the color back they had. Maybe low on potassium. I’ll check that when I get home today.

I'm going to try known aip eating peppermints from a local 1st.

Fudsey, I just used some F Aiptasia as I had one show up after the nudis cleaned house a while ago

GREAT STUFF! Way better than Aiptasia X.

Anyway, long story, I have an extra bottle, swag included that I would be happy to send to you if you want to try it.

My gift to you.

It’s! And it popped out 2 days ago.

Surprised me at how big it was.

Would you believe I ordered more and had it sent to the wrong address?? No clue how it happened but by the time i realized i hadn't received my order a couple of weeks passed and those neighbors tossed it! New neighbors of course and denied receiving it. :mad::mad:;Rage;Spiderman
