Hey everyone. I've recently been doing pretty heavy water changes, about 20% weekly.I noticed last week's water change I had one of my acans, which are all usually looking super thick, was receding. I thought nothing of it, later that week, I noticed all of them have started to do the same.

Some polyps even have flesh hanging off.


Tested my water yesterday, and what I noticed was my po4, no3, and alk are higher than usual.

5/25/23
Alk - 9.3
Po4 - .6 to 1
No3 - 20
Mg - 1320

I assume the heavy water changes has boosted the alk. And maybe I can feed a little less... But I don't think the nutrients are the issue here?

Posting photos and videos for reference, got some photos of them just earlier this month.
