show me your rainbow monti

[fishguy597]

what are you guys doing to keep the color on these things? Mine looks more like a slow growing superman. I had some alk swings a while back and i lost the green and yellow polops. i have had my alk at a solid 8.5 for 4 months and cant get it back. my sunset looks great and is growing fine. any suggestions?

My colony took a left turn at one time due to high alk.. Once I got that stabilized it started coming back and is now as good as it's ever been.. It took afew months though.

It's a zeo tank so params are
Cal 420
All 7-7.5
Po4 0.00-0.01
Etc

Acro growth is decent

ah, zeo that's another world to me. I used to do vodka dosing w/some zeo products but never did a full zeo tank. If you weren't running zeo I would point out that I noticed an increase growth in my montis when I moved my alk from 7.5-8 avg to 9-9.5 avg.. but I running alk that high with a zeo system might be problematic from what I've been led to believe.

yep for sure instant death on everything once alk reaches 8:headwally:
I have noticed a few zeo users are experiencing slow monti growth.

Where are yall keeping these? Mine seens just blah green lately. params are all in check. Mg- 1350, ca 440, alk 8.4-8.6, high flow, medium light. Do they prefer to be blasted with light, or lower in your opinions?

 

[gig]

Mine are mostly med to low in the tank

I posted my rainbow above but my reverse sunset seems to be more colorful. just proves to me a lot of corals just end up different depending on your specific tanks conditions
