How big is your tank. How stable are all of these parms - what kind of daily and weekly swing on the alk and calcium?

It's a 72 gal bowfront with adhi 30 sump I dose alk and calc every other day

How low do they get before you dose? 440 and 8.8 is a lot different than 350 and 6.0. Swings are not good, even for super-hardy montipora.

Like 440 8.5 to 450 9.0

My first thought was alkalinity but after reading I would say iodine. IME if its only montis with issues, iodine would be the first place to look. Check your levels....
