whats up with my monti's?

[jjoos99]

I am need of help with the montis in my tank. Every one of them is doing terrible. colors fading out and some bleaching. Several have completely died. The odd thing is all of my acros and millis are doing great. fantastic color a good growth. Just cant figure why just my montis are affected? Any suggestions are appreciated.
thanks

Did you check for monti eating nudis?

Ya it's either monti nudi or unstable alk levels.

What montis exactly are in trouble?

Are using some form of carbon dosing, zeo, bio-pellets, vodka, etc???

I am not dosing anything. i dont think I have any nudis. what would a cap look like if it had them? I have an orange cap, idaho grape cap, purple rimmed green cap and a spumosa. All have faded out most of their color and the orange cap has a few bleached sections on its edge. The spumosa is pretty much white with just the polyps which are not extended at all.
I have a ca reactor that i use and did have some issues this past summer. I was having some stn with some of my acros and millis but after lowering my alk and bringing up my mag levels I was able to stop that but my montis havent recovered at all. From what I have noticed in the past montis seem to be affected first from any alk problem. My last reading was 9.6 with a mag level of around 1200.

It really sounds like nudis to me look underneath them that is where the eggs would be.

Posting your parameters would be helpful. Probably an alk issue...
