I put a cabbage leather in my tank years ago and my open brains hated it even though I had carbon in the tank. After 4 days I decided I liked the brains more then the cabbage so I removed the cabbage and within 24 hrs the brains were puffed back up and had stopped receeding.....just a thought

[Myka]

no its not receeding fast

So it is slowly receding around the perimeter? Like over several weeks?
