Euphillias - torches, nobody knows why?!?!

Hi, everybody,
I read many materials and forums, but i couldn't find the answer - why my torches tantancles became very tiny. The tantacles were long and fat. Now they are long, but too tiny. How i can recover the tantacles - to be not just long, but fat again. (110 liters, kh 9,5, ca 440, mg 1440, nitrates 10-15 ppt, po4 0.003, salnity 1,025).

Generally when their tentacles shrink, it is either lack of water flow, light intensity too low or both.
Location makes a difference also and best at mid-tank or higher.
Phos level seems way off- What kits are you using ?

How old is this tank? How long have you had the torches? Agree, the PO4 value must be a mistake. Did you mean 0.03? What test kit did you use. Post a full tank shot.

The tantacles are very long, but thin, very thin. Before they was very long too, but fat - not thin. Tests - sallifert. Something makes thw tantancles thin.
