So the fish in question is a 2-2.5 in bullet hole/snowflake clown, the tank is a 40 gallon breeder that's been set up for around 2 months. It was cycled with 20 lbs of LR from my 260 display and MICROBACTER 7. Current parameters are as follows:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
Phosphate .01
Alk 8.3
Calcium 430
Magnesium 1280
Salinity 35 ppt
pH 7.9
There are weekly 5 gal water changes with Reef Crystals and 0 TDS RODI water. The other inhabitants are one rock flower, one small BTA, two other small clownfish (1-1.5 in) and one other clown of the same size. There is no skimmer, but there is growing chaeto and a canister. Attached is a video of the fish attempting to swim. When it is not doing that, it is laying on the sandbed, mostly upright. I've moved it into an acclimation box because it was bumping into things and had almost gotten stuck on the gyre. Looking for treatment advice.
