Experience and knowledge is everything, I take my hat off to you, I forgot the name in 30 minutes of driving and you were able to identify it because of that photo

I know the ones I like. I'm decent enough on some of the more common identifications.

We really need parameters, almost no flesh band, it has been going downhill for awhile. How long have you had it? I was given a torch, over a year ago, almost no flesh band. The reefer said it was on the way out and if I wanted to try to bring it back I could have it. It is the one on the left.

how did you do it?? ok just got done with the parameters. sal.-1.025, nitrate-51.2, alk.-8.5, phos.-.58, cal.- 490. i know my phos and nitrates are too high. for the phos, am working on that with gfo (2 days ago). i feed kinda heavy to try and help some of the things that seem to need more food.
 
I think that one head is likely a goner based on coloration. Looks like an infection. Gotta get that other head happy. What's the flow like?
 
Gently sways, but does it sway upwards or just kinda drape downwards?
