Starburst Montipora Bleaching.

[joekidwell]

The montipora on the left hand side mid tank has been in there now for 4 weeks, since day one its gotten lighter and lighter. Polyup extension and growth has been good. Paramaters are and have been steady as a rock. The light is a single AI Prime HD on the BRS AB+ spectrum on a 28 gallon nanocube.

I've recently raised my nitrates from an undetectable level to the 24.2 they are now, is that the culprit and if so how long before I should see some changes?

Could be the jump of no3, but I would either lower your Alk or raise your PO4. I would honestly raise PO4 up to 0.08-0.15.
