Candy Cane Retracted

[vieiras]

We have had our candy cane for about two months and it was doing great but not it looks like it is starting to retract. Water Parameters have been stable:
Alkalinity 8.3
Calcium 440
Magnesium 1440
Phosphate .01
Nitrates 5
Salinity 35 ppm

Doesn’t look bad. Tissue isn’t receding and it is opened up

if its not water then its probably either light or flow.. :rolleyes:
Turn down your flow for a few hours and see what happens.

Looks fine to me. Sometimes mine expel water to take in clean water and look like crap for a bit. They’re really resilient. Mine literally died and now look at them. Before and after pics below. The after pic is about three months old. They have 12-15 heads now.
