Hoping these will colour back up

[scotty333]

I’ve had this monti tyree 6 months now and it’s never been anything but brown so I’ve moved it to a stronger light position from where it was before , it has grown but the colours bad
Same goes for the milli next to it that was pink when I got it

I can't speak for the milli but the monti might be purple/brown as it's natural color? I've seen some at my LFS that I think are "purple" but look pretty drab/more brown if not under light that brings out the purple color.

What are your tank parameters, lighting, and flow? Some of those look to either be starved or under too bright of light. Can't say until I know what you're working with.

Icps were good last month

The milli got burnt tips through and alk od but it’s growing back over the tips now

Ok, All l looks good there. Your Phosphate and Nitrate are out of balance. If you have a bit higher phosphates, then you should raise your nitrates to around 15 or 20.

So we know by that, it likely isn't nutrient related. What's your lighting and flow?

I’ve still getting on top of nutrients after po4 skyrocketed for no reason
I’m going to bring nitrates down to 10 over next weeks

Pretty sure that's just how the Monti looks I'm pretty sure I have the same one getting plenty of light and flow

I wouldn't do that. Your nitrates could be raised a little and your Phosphate will fall in line after you raise the Nitrate a little. I would not try to lower Phosphate from what it is, that's not bad and I have had Acros in as high as 0.50 and they thrived.

Your choice, but the lower you go, you'll starve them. Your par should be 300 to 400 of you have those levels and you should have good flow.

The milli was an aquacultured so a little less forging

Par is 350 on acros , flow 32,000llph ( 400 ltr) but on pulse

So are they MP40s on Random or? Sounds like you're doing just fine though. If those aren't doing too well, another trick is to mount them somewhere else and mount them vertically. Sometimes they like that better,the Acros anyway, not the Montipora.

I’ll see how it goes while it’s repairing first before a move
