How much flow should the Monti be in? It is right in the line of fire from my Koralia 2.

They do not like direct flow and will do well in medium to high flow. Indirect random flow is best.

Ok, I will switch up the flow.

Where do you get the ATI bulbs, my LFS doesn't have them. I also can't seem to find them on a good site.

google "hello lights" I believe that is the site I was looking at. Other good sites are reef geek and reef specialty.

What 4 bulbs should I get for optimal growth and color?

Ok, my calcium reading was 500ppm. Is that high?

How do I make it go down? Do I just not dose for a week or two?

Don't dose for awhile... and check your alk -- that goes hand in hand with your calcium.
Did you get new corals before knowing what's wrong?
Your nitrates are high for sps -- plus you should be checking on phospates and getting your calcium/alk levels under control.
Personally I think you need to do more research before keeping sps and have a better understanding of what your water parameters should be like instead of getting new coral and keep trying until the coral works. Solve the symptoms that are causing your coral deaths.

Are you trying to say that I do not know how to run and maintain a tank? I was just asking questions BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW WHY THEY WERE DYING. By the way the only SPS that seems to be doing fine is the Monti.

I have been doing research for a while and I decided to try some. My water was fine until I went on vacation and my Gold Maxima died. Then my water was all messed up. Isn't that the point of this forum to ask questions? I am soo sorry I am not an expert at this.

It is... I was just under the impression you were buying more while stuff was dying...
"Ok, I am going to the LFS today to get some SPS frags for helping my dad move. What should I get that is easy and that will thrive with T-5's."
maybe I'm wrong but no harm meant by anything... just trying to keep you from bringing new corals into a bad situation.

Maybe I should clarify, I never went to buy those, I only got a Monti that is doing fine.
