i recently bought frags of green montipora and sunset montipora for my 42g cadlights. It’s been about 3 weeks. Both showed great signs of growth after the first few days especially the sunset montipora. In the last few days the sunset Monti started to lose its intense red colors and now is partially not extending its polyps. The other montipora is right near it and seems un affected. Good lighting and flow. Zero nitrates and phosphate. Haven’t tested cal alk mag. Got salifert test kits for those coming in a few days. Predominantly soft coral tank just changed carbon a week ago. No major changes. It ate reef roids a week ago.
I do have 2 large torch corals with a dozen heads that are finicky and one started losing heads. I think mainly to being in possibly too high flow. Just started losing heads. Huge 30 head hammer looking healthy as hell. Giant galaxy and a favia looking great too. Softies looking great.
I do a weekly 4 gallon water change. Is it possibly my perimeters off? Cal alk mag? I will test and report I an few days. Could those levels being off cause my torch heads to go? Thanks guys!
