The question I have is..How much flow do you have going in that 40?Montis are more hardier than acro species.

I have a 700gph main pump and 2 korolia nanos do they how much flow do they need do they nee to be blasted with flow?

not "blasted" but they need alot of indirect flow.

However, if the polyps are not coming out at all it does not sound like a flow problem. What are your water parameters?

The browning out sounds like lack of light and/or high phosphates. Knowing your water parameters would help.
