best method to color up torches

[youngblood421]

i have a indo gold torch that i bought with a single head in 3 months its about to split into 4 but a lot of the gold has come out of it. certain times it comes back. i was just curious whats the best way to bring back the really gold look?

What lighting do you have it in ?

Put it higher up in your tank around 200 par. Also I spot fed mine with reef roofs and it colored up a little bit more. Gold torches are normally found at the mouths of rivers so they are used to a lot of nutrients, minerals, and light.

I equate our torch color/growth to good consistent lighting, feeding RS ab+ every other day. We have our torches situated in the middle of the tank where par is about 150-170.. Under XR30 G4 non pro and Orphek OR3 Blue bar. Some of our results...

i havent tested it with a par meter but its about a third of the way up in my biocube.

I have an tongan gold torch it used to be less colorfull but over time its started to show good color due to feeding

Stability seems to be key with the ones I have. I have Aussie/Indo varieties. I blast them with 200+ par during peak lighting hours and medium to high random water flow. Feeding isn’t necessary.
