I have always run my tank at 8.5, same result. Only recently did I let it slide down to 7.5 because of the low nutrient level thinking this may be the cause. But alas it still happens.
They start out great, then within a couple months they start to wither away until they die completely.
When I had a biocube, any acan I bought thrived and grew. Moved to this tank(90G cube) 2 years ago, and can't keep them alive for the life of me.
Didn't mean to hijack the thread, just thought someone who can obviously keep beautiful acans could spot something I'm not seeing.
