Acan needs Help

[bluewatr24]

Help, I have an Acan Lord from X-mas that I just realized is bleached really bad. Here is the pic from X-mas.

And here it is now I will take a better pic later on tonight.

Lighting is 130W PC started feeding on a regular basis since i noticed the color change. I had it up at the top of tank for a while now its at the bottom as in the pic. Need all the help I can get to save it.

Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
PH 8.3
cal 440

Does not appear to be bleaching, just fading in color.

Do you feed it?

I find that when I feed my acans there colors get more vibrant. Also, lighting can have alot to do with it.
