Tank parameters.
Ph 8.4
Calcium 480-499
Magnesium 1460
Nitrates really low
Phosphates. Api test kit reading low
Dkh 8.6 normally at 9.2
My acans used to be puffy with feeder tentacles out. A couple weeks ago the dkh was slowly raised to 9.
At this high dkh the acan smoothed out and no longer has the feeder tentacles out. The color is more vibrant but not as puffy. It seems healthy but in a different state.
I noticed this before when I raised alk. Maybe ph is also affecting.
Has anyone noticed this from there acan? Which state is better to be in for the acan? Puffy or smooth and more vibrant colors?
