Ive had a rbta for almost 6 months now and he has been small and shrunken for months now. He eats and has some small bubbling but he just never opens up like the day i got him
Nitrate is my biggest culpret as im close to 0 due to hair algea outbreak…
Phos is also high .25 and that due to not having a skimmer so nutrient export is very annoying and expensive. Im getting one xmas so that should help
Par is around 200 ive been slowly cranking it up a tad my softies dont seem to care although the par where they are placed is lower about 12-14k spectrum
Alk 9
Ph 8.3
Mag 1300
Calc 470
Phos .25
Temp 78 F
Nitrate very low close to 0
Flow is low to maybe low/medium
Any thoughts
