Picked up this Trachy about two weeks ago. The last three days or so it seems to have had finicky behavior, or maybe it’s just normal and I’m not used to it. It seems to deflate in an odd way, with odd looking folds in kinks as seen below.
Last night it did not seem to have a feeding response at all. A few days prior it would fill up nicely.
Nitrate did spike To 20-25 recently because of Reef Roids I believe. I used much less than the recommended amount. Beyond this I believe the water parameters are good except for maybe alkalinity. Alkalinity is 7. Ph is 8.0. Salinity is 1.025. Temp 78. Calcium is around 420. Light to medium flow. No ammonia.
I kinda feel It could-be lighting. Too much or little. AI HD16 with wattage set around 19 watts.
Thoughts?
