    Default normal?

    Is it normal for a duncan to close up? This is the first I have seen it but mine have been closed for 3 days now. It is time for a waterchange but everything else is doing well. Also working on bumping up the alkalinity since I have been using ro/di water. That is the only parameter that isnt in the correct range at 7.

    My experience with duncan's is that close up when irritated or lights out.

    When my duncan was small it would close up when about ready to pop out a new head. It would close for about 3-5 days then would be open again along with a baby. now that its big it doesnt really do that any more.
