Hey Ya’ll,

I’ve had this Cosmic Candy Bounce chalice for a couple months now and it was doing really well in my 15g tank but once moved into my larger tank it’s been deflated almost 100% of the time after a few days.. not sure what’s bothering it as I’ve several other chalice in this same tank that are doing well. Tried moving into lower flow/light now I’ve got it in more light than it was getting to see if that does anything. 😬

There’s what it looked like before vs now.

Tank parameters:

Alk: 9
CA: 430
Mag: 1350
No3: 8.4
Po4: 0.09
PH: 8.1-8.3
Temp: 78

I dose about 25ml of AFR daily currently, just started dosing nitrate via NeoNitro but it was acting this way before that.
 
Moved it to a higher light area with less flow, I think it might be making a come back.. looks to be inflating a bit more. Will see later when I get a chance to see it with the lights on. 🤞
