Branching hammer help!

[smiller8516]

I have this hammer for about a month. Was doing GREAT, then last week I did a water change and added Life Source mud (as I usually do) and it started contracting and now looks like it’s sick/dying (possibly) and I want to know what I can do for the little guy.

Had my water tested at my lfs via an aqua spin and other than a slightly low Ph (7.9) everything was in range. I also have a Duncan that is doing great and growing 2 heads like its employees.

Please help I don’t want to lose the little guy

Just wondering the pictures I see look very blue and do you increase light intensity eventually like in a dawn and dusk mode, maybe it needs more light and make sure it has decent water flow.

These are my light settings through out the day. I have an AI light with a signature pre programmed setting. I’m not 100% sure how the thing works tbh but I’m open to suggestions!

I have a med/strong current going right towards the little dude. Put up pictures of my light settingsfor reference

My light comes on at 8am simulated dawn it ramps up a bit until 8’:15am stays then stays at that light setting until 9:15am when it ramps up to full light mode at 9:30am at full light mode until 8:00pm ramps down light until 9:30pm when it shuts off.
