Can you advise the water parameters please, nitrate phosphate alkalinity calcium magnesium, how old is the tank, what type of lighting, and what flow in the tank? sorry for the all the questions but all the info is needed to help you, we don't know your tank so need your help to describe it to us, thanks.

i dont think its because of the water parameters, my other chalices look happy as can be but i tested 2 days ago and my calcium was around 440, mag 1300, phos: 0.02, nitrate around 30 and alkalinity around 10.5. My tank is 4 months old , 13 gallons, The flow is moderate? And i have a AI prime and im using the David saxby signature series schedule
