I’ve had this bubble tip for a while and it’s struggling a bit. It moved itself next to the wave maker so I thought that was the problem. Nitrates about 4 and Phosphates range to about .14. When the light ramp down- it turns inside out as appearance. It eats mysis but it’s not thriving. Lights run about 75 blue 45 violet and 10 white. Thanks for any feedback

How long has the tank been established? I’ve found they like a slightly dirtier tank around 10 no3. Does it fully expand during the day? I’ve also found they like more of a whiter spectrum. You have blues very heavy compared to whites. I have blues at 100% and white at 85% during the peak hours

I only have 12% whites and mine are fine. They don’t like new tanks, that’s for sure.
