3.5x2x2ft. running on ohf and canister. media around 3l of cr and 12biorod. noted on the daily water change. should i remove rtc?

How much are you changing water weekly each time? Size of your silver n RTC? Any water conditioner added when intro new water?

Do check if you've added the adequate dosage of water conditioner...
Assuming water parameters are okay, my guess would be chlorine burn.
Also i don't think you have to remove the RTC.

Just need to change water about 30%, add some salt and increase the air rate.

Dun save on the anti chlorine. Veri important .

Once awhile it happened to my Aro breathing hard on the surface. I immediately add one more dose of anti-chlorine directly into tank and it always recovered.
