I've had this bta for a couple weeks now and it's looked great, but the past few days one side of it has closed up and is sliding over. Is it splitting? I just did a water change yesterday. The first pic is It now, the second one is what it has been looking like

I just checked salinity, it's around 1.026. 78° steady. I have about 1100 gph total flow in a 20 gallon tank. Its about 9 months old. I don't test alk or mg as I only have softies
 
Not sure if salinity is a bit too high but one thing you'll learn about BTAs is that they'll do whatever they want whenever they want. I may just be on the move trying to find just the right lighting / flow. I'd cover the powerheads with foam covers just in case.
 
Thanks. That's the thing though, one side of his foot hasnt moved. The other is getting wider.
 
I highly recommend you test ALK and MG and go from there, could be a number of things, but you gotta start some where.
 
Turns out he was just moving. He was apparently pushing himself through a tiny hole.
