Help! I have three sps pieces. This is my first time keeping them. The first piece which is a bonzai and it is doing fine as is my montipora. The Bonzai is closer to the light than the Neon Green Acropora. There is shelf a little lower and that is where the Neon Green Acropora and monti are This position should get more flow than the Bonzai. The monti is doing awesome btw. I cannot speak to my parameters right now. I will check those tomorrow but nothing has changed that i know of. I have read some other post on this issue but not really gathers much info. I am thinking of moving it up to the same place as the Bonzai. Maybe a lighting issue? Do they require more light than a Bonzai? I have a Radion LED btw in a 60 gallon cube.

I did add more GFO a week ago to ramp up to the required amounts per BRS. I am at 14 tbsp. I think 17 tbsp is what they say my size tank should have. Think this could do it but not affect anything else?
 
Bleaching from the bottom up? sounds like STN to me tank parameters will help figure out the problem and not sure about the GFO i don't personally use it but im sure someone will be able to tell you if that is the proper amount.
 
Slow tissue necrosis. Can happen for a variety of reasons, often from swings in water chemistry.
 
I am in the same situation.. I have heard BRS calculator is over the top with GFO.. I think I just had GFO overdose on my tank as well and am trying to figure out what I can do to reverse the effects. You probably stripped your tank off all the nutrients..
