adding one element changes the balance of the tank in some ways, we just dont often know how. so yep, id be more inclined to keep water changes consistent presuming its a goodsalt. Similarly if one element is out of whack.. already i see coral dips, strontium, add other... multiple parametres continually trying to find equalibrium. "thought was low so did this" ifc corals were doing fine then it suggests it wasnt low for your particular tankI have a large beach bum monti that's been there for >1 yr. Awesome growth... I have about 16 montis in my tank, all with good growth.
I started dosing Strontium thinking that I needed to replace what was low on the ICP test, and started at 5 ml daily (300g total volume) ... well, in about 2 week,s it started to STN, bleach out, and recede. It was the only one in the tank that showed this reaction...
I stopped dosing and in 3 weeks, it started to regrow, polyps are fully extended, and color is vibrant.
Why do I share this? It could be a supplement that you are dosing that may be causing the issue... This one slipped by and I'm glad I thought through what I started/stopped doing several weeks ago.
Not lighting related?Hi there, again a few weeks later still having some issues with the montipora , but it slowly is getting better. Something i noticed is that in the morning they are more happy than during the day. So they start happy and end a bit more sober in the evening. What can it be, which parameters are higher during the morning?
I'm not sure what your seeing that concerns you? Do you have a better description other than in the morning it looks happier, im not sure what that means. Does it have polyp extension? Does it have some discoloration? Do you have pictures in white lights of it happy, and some of them in white lights not so happy, its hard to understand?I may not complain at all, but i want it to be perfect or i need at least to know what is going on. Lights i dont think it has to be a toxin or water supplement. As when it was light not 2 different tanks had that problem.

Thats good , you may see them start to recover nowThe story continues, i bought some new branching and plate montipora, and these actually keep growing. So now i really do not understand what went wrong with the others which are still not back to normal. They ahow still less polyp extension and their growth have been very slow.
