Also Alk is at 7 used to be 10Hi
I have a RS Max 260 with sump
2 x RS LED 90s 50% Blue and 5 to 25% White over 11 hrs
Temp 25.5

PO4 0.7 from 0.2 two weeks ago

HiDo you know the par level of where the monti is sitting? It likes higher light and higher flow, I'm thinking maybe its a light and flow issue.
Temp, goodHi

Thanks for this info, much apreciated.Temp, good
Salanity, okay, don't go any lower. I like 1.025/1.026... I have had somethings brown out at 1.023, just keep that in mind.
PH, ammonia, nitrates, all good.
PO4, typo? 0.7-0.2 high, I assume you mean 0.07?? 0.07 is a sweet spot.
Calcium, good
Mag, low, just bump that up to 1300 today, 1350 minimum tomorrow.
Would be nice to know par but I'm leaning that may not be a problem unless it's under 150 par.
Flow, sps love flow but I need to see about those pumps and how much they put out. It sounds like you're close to their top end.
EDIT:
Max 260 is about 69 gallons? So those 2 pumps should be ~1700/1800ish gph? That should be plenty of flow, are they on random?
Got Mag to 1290 this afternoon and now at 1340Thanks for this info, much apreciated.
Wave 1 is on Random at 80% attached to LHS of tank and Wave 2 is on Stepped at 70% on RHS glass of tank .
