No new montis, I've had a monti cap and the Digita for over a year. Seems to be spreading slowly, noticed it originally a few weeks ago
The base of my Montipora Digitata is turning white at the base where it's attached to the rock. The rest seems to be going great along with the rest...
It actually probably didn't swing at all and was just due to a bad sensor, may have to replace it

Thanks for the input Gabby, I have used Coralife salt for two years, mix it thoroughly for 24 hrs before I do a water change, 20% every two weeks....

Ok, I am officially confused, I started dosing Kalk in my ATO to increase my PH and keep my parameters steady. My tank is primarily SPS. For some...
