BTA Health Question ?

Hey there!

I've had a very healthy BTA for a year now that use to expand out to 6" to 10". In the last few weeks he has become more withdrawn and has turned from a natural beige color to a purplish color. Its tentacles have also shortened and withdrawn as well. I removed him from the DT to physically check and there was no sign of problems or decay odor, etc.. Put him back in and he immediately attached to a rock.

All water params have been fine and I'm balancing Alkalinity and Calcium via Ca/CO2 Reactor and Kalk Reactor. PH 8.17, Ca 398 ppm, Alkalinity 214 ppm, Redox Contoller maintains ORP at 250mV.

I have alot of water movement in DT w/ 10K MH bulb, 2 atinics and a few nite lites.

Any comments on how to get this guy back to a healthy state would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
 
ARCREEF I cant answer your question but I can say that I am having the same problem. I have had my BTA for about 4 months now without any problems. Now it has become withdrawn and very small. My water is fine and I have a powerhead to move the water around. I dont get it either. I am so worried about it though as my clown loves it!
