imo, your corals might be turning brown for some other reasons. lighting, temperature, nitrate, phosphate, etc. you should check them out first.
if you're gonna dose 2 part, add them a few minutes apart in high flow area. the point is not to let them mix before they mix with water. but if you wanna add them at the same time, add two solutions in different parts of the system.

^^in case if you need to calculate how much to dose.

Usually monti caps turn brown over night from a phosphate spike. Just add a phosphate remover media. In my 14g biocube, I bought the filter chamber from InTank that fits in the second compartment and ran chemipure elite, purigen, and filter floss on the top. I had little phosphates in the system since I used LR from my 125g and just bought new LR to replace the ones I took out from the 125g. They will get their color back. If you are going to dose, I would rather wait an hour vs a few minutes but a WC is even better for the size of your system. I never dosed in my 14g since when something was out of wack like cal or alk, I just did a WC and it brought the levels back to normal.
