I bought a montipora a week ago and started to notice white on the tips of the coral.
It’s kind of hard to see in the photo. I’m not sure if the white is spreading or if it is fine and I’m just being paranoid.
My Parameters:
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 0ppm
Nitrate: 0ppm
Phosphate: .15ppm
Calcium: 380ppm
Alk: 8.2 dkh
Mag: 980 ppm
I should have tested before getting the monti. The monti was kind of an impulse buy. I’m trying to work on bringing the Cal, alk, and mag up slowly but nitrate hasn’t been going up at all. I have cheato algae and it has been growing quite a bit, so maybe that’s the cause of lack of nutrients. Anything will help. Thank you
