Acans Reeceding
Lately my acans havent been looking to good and some are starting to recede a bit.
Temp: 78.9 pH: swings between 7.6 and 8.0 (working to get this a bit higher) Salinity: 1.024-.025 Alk: 10 dKH Mag: 1300 ppm Cal: 430 ppm Nitrates: 20 ppm --- a few weeks ago these were in the 80 ppm range but we have been doing WC's and added a fuge so they have been dropping slowly. There was no receding of the acans when the nitrates were at 80 ppm Nitrite/Ammonia/Phos: 0 ppm Tank Specs: 75g RR with 29g sump, 48" Nova Extreme Pro with 2 of the stock 10k bulbs swapped out for UVL Super Actinics. Full spectrum is run 6 hrs a day and actinics run for 10 Acans are spot fed on a regular basis with pre-rinsed PE Mysis and Cyclopeeze |

How many bulbs total? You may not have enough light, but that would be a bit of a surprise. Could you post some pictures of the acans?
