Please Help what is my hammer doing?!

[tom's_tank]

I have been slowly seeing some or the hammer dying back could this be lighting or what could I do to help stop this???

Does not look good, and is very close to deaths door.

Parameters?

Parameters, lights,flow.....

 

[tom's_tank]

Medium flow andis close to medium height in tank for lights.

Do you ever get alk swings and calcium should be a little higher. 400-450

lighting could be an issue. Flow is fine if it’s not getting hammered

I would move it away from the light. All of my hammers are right on the sand bed. I even have one nice gold hammer that sits in a shadowed spot below and behind a couple rocks.

Hope it's not too late for yours.

Good luck.'

On pictures, there is a lot of.... diatoms,cyano, some bubbles? Really hard to tell...

What is the light, intensity etc?

Nitrate and phosphate?

Ok I recon it's the light too I'll move it and I've been doseing calcium and alk just to bump it up a little
