Well judging from your frags you got it down!
So there is no doubt in my mind your tank parameters are spot on.

Thank you for the compliment, everyone’s tank is different , so it’s hard to copy what one person is doing and have success. I’m always learning in this hobby , just when I think I have the tank figured out , something changes and I’m stuck wondering why lol.

As far as the acans go , over the years I’ve went through a couple patches where they just didn’t do well. They would shrivel up one or two at a time , and then slowly melt away , like they were slowly being eaten. I believe it’s some sort of bacterial infection that’s spreads from one to the other , but who knows. Then it just seems to stop , and back to normal. Very frustrating sometimes
