I currently have three hammers two torches and one frog spawn that have all regressed over the course of the last two weeks. My phosphate is .06 nitrates are 14.4 calcium 400 entity 8.9 and magnesium 1220. I have adequate flow. But I am at a loss as to why they are regressing any ideas and I don’t appear to have any pest.
 
I have always had more success with my hammers and torches closer to 1400 on mag. I dont know why but when I was in the 1200’s they didnt like it.

What par are they in? Age of tank? Any ICP tests?
 
How long have you had them? Pictures will help. Do you test the alkalinity?
