RBTA not too good.

My RBTA split about two months ago. Since then both have become pale and shrunk, they close up about once a day or every other day. I've been trying to nurse them back to health but nothing doing. One looks pretty bad. When I got it he was dark brown base and very bright tips. Not sure if there is anything else I can do idea?

Ok, I know its not happy, but here are my specs:
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0
pH 8.0

PO4 0

That's all I have for measurable, umm what would affect my RBTA but nothing else?

What kind of light?

 

[bif24701]

1400k 150watt x2. With 95watt 420nm x2

That should be enough to keep it happy. Maybe salinity either to high or low or to many up and downs.

Yea, forgot SG is 1.025-1.026 verified by Vertex refractometer with ATC. Water change is 15-20% weekly with Catalina sea water.
