My Montiporas Elkhorn and Seasons Greetings are fading color

[enb141]

Hi, I got two small frags of Elkhorn and Seasons Greetings, for the first weeks they were fine, but weren't growing, so I ramped up the lights a little bit of my Radion G3 X15 to about 60% all blues up and the rest colors at about 30%, I also increased my skimming because I had high phosphates (1.0 PPM) and also the lights of the refugium to help to reduce the phosphates.

So after a few days trying to reduce the phosphates, now they are 0.78 but my two monties are getting bad, the Elkhorn has some parts white and the Seasons Greetings is losing its colors.

My parameters when they were fine:

PO4 1.00
Nitrates 10

My current parameters:

PO4 0.78
Nitrates 5 or less

The rest of the parameters haven't changed

Mg 1340
ALk 10
Calcium dunno but should be between 380 - 430

Bumping your post for you!!!!

Thank, you, what I've done meanwhile was to reduce the skimming and the lights of the sump.

Apparently, the bleaching has stopped, but I don't know if they are still alive.

You have pictures of them?
