Superman trouble

[alistair]

Over the last few weeks my frag of superman monti is slowley fading and dying off. What are the optimul conditions for superman health? Any ideas how I could reverse this dying trend?

Alistar, most monti's love alk - check that - if below 8.0, you need to dose up!

Potassium Iodide.... Mine started going south and with additions of potassium it came back and all my other corals colors changed for the better (darker richer colors) DO NOT OVERDOSE)

PS: Check your alk too

Po4 and nitrates are the key to succes with all sps....Just my opinion though...Dentrifier baby... Natureef that is..

Make sure to check for monti eating nudi's. Are any of your other monti's showing signs of stress?

As House said, check your alkalinity... Montis seem very sensative to low alkalinity..

I am having some issues on my monties long time ago it looks so stress and it seems like I tried t o fix it by putting them everywhere in my tank and seems its not gettin better.. I did an interceptor dip for 1 hr and after that all came back... Thats is just me and my experience... maybe house is right alk too low but that time I didn;t know that they are sensitive with alk issues...

What do I use as a dip?

 

[House of Laughter]

Alistair, did you post Alk levels?

Also, a quick inspection of whats going on with a magnifying glass would be good - check for nudi's -

Did you buy anything from anyone north of me? There seems to be a lot of this going around from that region.

House,
Bought this for several months ago from a guy in NJ. It has only recently started to die. I gave it a scrub with a toothbrush last night, and looked for Nudi and saw nothing.
Could a try to feed it anything?
Alk level was acceptable, can't remember the exact reading ant the moment.
