Got my first torch last week. It seems pretty happy but the polyps don’t look to be fully extended. It seems to be happy but wanna make sure everything is good to go. Do they take some time to fully extend?

My parameters are in the pictures for reference. I realize that my nitrates are on the low side, and that is something I’ve been battling since starting this tank. I am dosing with 5ml neo nitro daily to try and correct that slowly. IMG_0294.jpeg IMG_0295.jpeg IMG_0296.png

What app are you using to track your parameters?
