I don't see anything crazy out of line here. What kind of light do you have?
Maybe bump the phosphates with some reef roids?

How old is the tank?

Check your light as the numbers aren't that bad.....

thank you i am currently running the nicrew 100w at 50% blue for 12 hours i dont have a par reader at this moment in time so can not test par as i think this may be the biggest problem at the moment

Looks fine to me

I would be fine with those numbers on a 2 month old tank

If you don't like those numbers, find a salt mix that mixes to what you want

And dose new saltwater

That should carry one for about a year

You don't need help. You need time. You are very early in the process. I would not add any corals until close to the 6 month mark.

I would agree that your numbers are fine. Also that you should wait a spell before putting corals in. But for 2 months in, your parameters are great. It could be argued that your ALK is a little low, but for now you're good. Just let your tank cook a while longer.

Your parameters are great, actually. I don’t see anything chemistry-wise that would cause a Montipora to bleach.

Do you have enough flow?
