cross your fingers and try to give it some cyclops , a little bit, to encourage it to hold on... the problem is not in the parameters been off , but instability ... some times you get an acan and it starts to loose polyps on you... most of the time you can see it happening right out of the bag....make an evaluation when the problem started ... did you received a perfect healthy acan? or there was a empty sceleton next to where you loosing polyps now ?
