Is this after mixing for 24+ hours?

Yes. I usually mix up a new batch right after a water change. I then let it sit, mixing with a heater, till I need it again.

I guess I'll just have to increase the feelings.

My fish will love it.

Hopefully mine will come back from the dead. It's back on the bottom where it was looking good. Boy it had nice color. I put the rest of my monti frags on the bottom and They instantly have better PE. Does this suggest too much light? I've got th Kessil a160 set to 70% intensity during the brightest part of a the day.

Well hold on, increasing feedings will not solve the issue. If anything will help drive ph down and raise po4
as I said pm me and I will show you something that is simple that will help you understand.

i tried 3 montis and they all bleached white. granted this was when i didnt realize my nitrate issue was a problem. or you can just dub me the monti slayer.

To be honest, before the tank crash, I just used RO water and LFS water for my tank. Everything grew like weeks, including algae. Now, I got anal again and am using RODI for my ATO and my salt water. I've never had zero nitrates before. I'm guessing this ULNS that I created by accident is to blame? I feed twice a day and also dump some filter feeder food in once a day.

yup. welcome to the world of accidental ulns. i achieved it without a skimmer. lol. others will shake their head as you dose potassium or sodium nitrate to compensate.

overfeeding will NOT fix the issue unless it is only a slight no3 deficiency.

Okay I forgot to mention I added microbacter7 after the crash from moving the tank. My nitrates were about 10ppm. After a few PWC and this microbacter7 stuff, it dropped to zero. I stopped adding it after seeing a bacteria bloom.

Good news. The JMT is still hanging on. It lost all of its color, looking very brownish, but is still alive as evident by a sting it got from a pesky reverse sunset montipora that fell on it.
