Having them too close to bottom, sand often gets on them and irritates them. they do not like sediment on them. Elevate them slightly and assure they are getting some flow and moderate light. You can take a turkey baster and give them gentle bursts of water. You will notice some dust coming off of them.
In addition, they need occasional dose of Iodide which they convert to inner iodine needs. If youre adding nopox to tank- this often upsets them.
Temperature: 78-79 degrees
pH: 8.1-8.3
Phosphates: .04 - .08
Nitrates < 10
