Looks like the flesh band on my frammer is retracting.
Anything I can do?
Temp 26
Sal 1.025
NH3 10
PO4 0.25 (has been creeping up).
Ca 355
Mg 1245
Kh 7.7 (low?)
These params were taken just before I did a 10% water change. Will test again later.

You should definitely get your magnesium and calcium up + your alk is a bit low. How long have you had the hammer and have you checked for flatworms? Your calcium should be in the 380-470ish range and your mag should be in the 1300-1500 range.

NH3 10 great number
PO4 0.25 (has been creeping up). Not a big deal. I like .15 ideally. Keep under .4 if possible
Ca 355 a little low nbd
Mg 1245 a little low
Kh 7.7 (low?) not at all. Keep above 7 is fine

Answers above. Nothing majorly off, have you dipped, changed lighting or flow? How long has it been there?

Not checked for flatworms but did dip it before it went in the tank.
