HELP What's Wrong With My Ricordia?

[SaltyWaters]

Hello All, My Ricordia is not doing so hot. I can't Figure out what's wrong with it. Does anybody know what i can do to save it?
I have it in my nano tank so it's getting 24 watts of lighting.

Here's a picture

Are you adding any buffer into your system? Your salinity is a little high. I am concerned about the alk. you should be between 9-12.

I would also try and lower your nitrates. Water changes will help with that. Then figure out why they are high. My high nitrates were from over feeding....
