Can anyone help me try and recover this Goni? It has been like this for months now never fully extends but always looks like it wants to. I do target feed them every other day. Tanks Params stay stable at

Temp: 79-80
Ph - 8.3
Salinity - 1.026
DKH - 9.5-10
Calcium - 390-400
Nitrates - 0.2 - .5 ppm
Phosphates - .05-.09

I have tried new placement, and iodine dips as well and they have not seemed to do anything. Any help would be appreciated

Your nitrates are too low.

Gonis really like above 5ppm, preferably above 10ppm.

Are you dosing any trace elements? I've found dosing Manganese daily is very helpful to keep them healthy.
