Can you list livestock please?
 
So just to help it’s very important to share your parameters. Your good doesn’t mean anything to us. I’ve looked through your post history to find info and it’s a pattern. My guess is you were like me years ago and just want an answer. If you have the parameters list them, you will actually get help that way. Otherwise we are all guessing based off how you describe a situation. Numbers are way more valuable and extremely important in this hobby.

Do you have a way of testing PAR? Might be too much light
I do not, but I thought this may be the problem so I lowered it. I haven’t seen it getting worse as fast as before but it’s still not nice looking
 
I also do 10% water changes every week. With RODI water
 
It may just be the pic, but it looks like there’s some tissue recession in your hammers.
 
Yes, I see some white areas of the skeletal structure.
What do I do. I have always thought those guys were doing the best as they always are fully extended and looking nice.
what would cause this?
