Receding Acan

[derek12261984]

Hi all,
As the title said, I have an acan that is not doing so hot. I’ve had it for about two weeks now and it was doing great, but I’ve noticed the last 2 days it has started to recede in one spot. I posted all of my chemistry below. I’ve moved it to a lower light lower flow area to see if that helps but is there anything else I should be doing, I do feed twice a week amino acids and plankton.

Hey friend! How is it doing now? Can you also post your light and flow settings?

Personally I would put it back in higher Flow. I'm not sure what you mean by low flow but they need to shed the waste with flow.

Also, alk is high in comparison with po4. High alk, high nutrients.

Salanity is at the minimum I would shoot for. Maybe just a bump to 1.025 would help.
