Montiopora, especially Digi are supposed to be easy to keep, but I can't seem to do it. I have a red Digi, Green Digi, and a Forest Fire that are losing color and have almost no polyp extension. They are white, but not bleached, just fully retracted. Also I think my Leng Sy is bleaching out.
Can anyone give me some pointers? Coral that do well are: SPS: Slimer, Miyagi Tort, Spongode, Pavona; LPS: Trumpet, Hammer, Torch, Duncan; cyphastria, And anything soft.
I tried dosing AB+ and ended up with just an EXPLOSION of bubble algae.
Parameters
Sal: 1.025
pH: 8.1
Alk: ~8.6
Calc: 500
NO3: ~2.5
PO4: 0
Mag: 1350
PAR: 100-200 depending on depth - Reefbreeders v2+ 36' 11in above surface, max 39% on blue channels and 10% on white
Tank: 50gal acrylic with 15 gal sump
I run carbon on and off
I run socks on/off depending
