The alk is a bit high, but that in and of itself can be fine if it has been consistently around 10.7 since your Nitrates are high.

Do you have historical data of your alk?

For now, I would move to a low flow low light area of the tank

I think i have same lobo and mine likes lower light and low/medium indirect flow.

Hello! Yes in my tank my alkalinity is the same for a long time. This lobo is new in my tank, less thank a week. I tried to move it and lobo melts

phosphates are also a bit high. Prolly do a water change or two; always worked for me
