Candy cane problem

[Redneck19261]

My candy cane is shriveled up and some bone is showing and idk why or how to fix it.
Alk is 9.5
Calcium is 495
Salinity is 1.025
Ph is 8. Might be to low?
Everything looks good to me.

My guess is your Alk is to high and your nutrients are to low.. a PH of 8 is fine, I don’t worry about my PH get everything else in line and your PH will follow.

I thought my alk was low tbh

looks like your tank is new.. I would slowly bring your ALK down to around 7.5 and see if there is a improvement, my LN tank gets angry when I try to push ALK over 8 so I just let it hover in the mid 7’s and more recently in the low 7’s and my tank looks amazing

Wow it does look amazing. My tank is new. I do a one gallon water change every week and my alk normally stays around 9. I do not dose magnesium and I use red see reef pro salt
