BTA Splitting

[Pazil]

This is funny to me.. I had gotten this BTA with the hopes of it growing large enough that my 2 clowns would host in it and here we go with a split and now its back to the size I bought it at. ..... Anyway I just checked all parameters and nothing has changed since the last check.... I will keep a close eye on them. Saturday is WC day anyway.

Cheers and thanks for the comments

I guess I am just always searching for root causes of certain events in my tank, usually to no avail, rather than fixing symptoms alone. I have tried to induce my BTA to split on several occasions by following WC routines, feeding increases etc. that have worked for others but my BTA has never spilt in the 3+ year I have had it, just grown lots, no idea why.
