monticap looking shabby

[donkeys4hire]

It used to glow and have bright color for the first month. Since then it has turned dull and brown. I have it near the top of my 55g under 4x T5 lighting. Are my lights ok for this type of coral? My LPS's are all doing ok.

What's your Nitrate & Phosphate levels, and how are you testing them?

What type of light fixture/ retro are you using?

My LFS said i have 120 NO3, get your own kits lol. My SPS dominted tank is a 55 gal with a 4 light sundial t5. My montis are well below the halfway mark and still I get a couple species bleaching a bit. If you think its your lights, try upgrading the bulbs to a better brand, ATI is my favorite due to their high par values. I have some SPS on my sandbed so I shouldnt think its not enough light. Bulbs ballast and reflectors make a HUGE difference though, what fixture do you have?
