Birdsnest growing like crazy but in the last few weeks the branches seem to have gotten skinnier but still growing like a weed. Is this normal?

Alk=9.4
Cal= 460
Mag=1450
NO3=4.2
PO4= .03
Temp= 78.2
PH=8.03
Sal=34.9ppt
Redox=408mv

 
I wouldn’t be too concerned.
Wife was more concerned than I was but since there are so many types of Birdsnest in many different shapes I thought it would be good to get an opinion. R2R is awesome for info and opinions.
 
That is actually turning out into a beautiful piece. Just the PE is not as out as they should be. Somethin must be irritating it? Nutrients?

My posted water chemistry was from 2 days ago. I will check my NO3 and PO4 again. Usually they are on the low end. Tank is post cycle 3 months running. Tank is very clean. Maybe too clean? 280gl total water volume.

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!
