Hiya,
I purchased a piece of rabbit ear leather, check my other threads, there's a picture, about a month ago. It's been doing wonderfully, was extended almost 3 times it's size from when I first purchased it, polps out and growing. However, this weekend, it shrank back to almost nothing. There's no extention. It is at the top of my tank, 10K and 65K compacts, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates 0 PH - 8.2 salinity 1.025 temp about 78-81 and calcuim 450. This happened Friday I believe.
The only thing I changed was I added a skimmer Wednesday. It's a HOB one and is behind the leather. It was putting out a bunch of micro bubbles but has since stopped. I take it this was from the break in period on the skimmer. I also moved my PH to aim more water movement towards my crushed argonite since I have a cyno outbreak. I returned the PH back to it's orignal place and cut my lights back an hour. My torch had shrank up during the break i period, but is now fully extended and happy as a torch can be.
What if anything can I do to make my leather happy again? Do I need to try relocating it away from the skimmer?
