Thanks for the post Scuba, I remember Tony was posting a while back that as hard as he tried SPS just wouldn't work for him. Maybe it is a bacterial infection, or something in excess/ lacking in the water.

It's frustrating because they have to be one of my favorite species, such color and great growth patterns behind them.

What are your Mg levels? I find mine show it first when the Mg gets too low.

I keep my Mag in my personal tank right around 1450-1500, I also keep my Potassium levels above 400. Montis love Potassium and MAG from my experience!

Thanks for the tip Ian, I have been dosing Potassium but don't have a kit for it so that's something I will be picking up in the near future. Will also try increasing my Mag up a little.

Do montis like prodi-bio ? I was so impressed with that Reef booster you sent me I decided to purchase the whole darn kit (I made sure my address was on it this time ). I PM'ed Paul but any way you can get this stuff out to me ASAP (I think I paid the primo delivery charge ).

I really need to get these darn parameters in check and I think purchasing brand new testing equipment is going to be one of my only choices. My tests are all over the map and I'm having some big discrepancies in #'s.

How does "already shipped" sound? Yeah, your package is already at the post office....
