Monti brownout - everything else great!

[reefOgraphic]

It's not fall. Why is my Monti brown? I have a superman or purple haze (?) E. Monti. When I got it it had the best purple color. Compared to its brothers and sisters, it was special. It turned in about a week. Everything else in the tank is perfect and doing great. I did have a cyno outbreak recently but that's all cleared-up. Head scratch. I'll post a photo tonight.

Lighting, flow, alkalinity ALL GOOD. ? Ok, alk could be higher but I'm getting it there. Not low low. It's sitting right next to a large pokerstar and the PS is ?

What kind of lights are you running? Could be missing a certain spectrum it needs if you have leds

That's Red Sea TK result. Do not like this test kit. I just bought the Salifert. I'll have better results next week.
