Hi all
Lost a head on this torch a few days ago ,think it was in to much flow and was taking a beating
Anyway I moved it to a low flow area yesterday and it opened up fine and looked better than were it was before
Just noticed a few mins ago that it had shrunk
And had brown stuff coming out of it ,it's not brown jelly I'm sure ......was wondering if it's pooing lol

If you are certain it is not brown jelly then it could be expelling zooxanthelle or excreting waste as well, i would dip in an iodine based solution just in case.. torches don't need too much flow and shouldn't be hammered with it they will retract and or be damaged if they are
 
Yep having a poo ,dropping the kids off at the pool hahaha:p
Just started to open back up much happier in its new place

Haha I have panic mode as well ,most things get dropped intill I can get it sorted

Can you make the baby a bottle ....can't iv got my hands in the tank lol something's wrong
:D
 
Oh so true. Today after work I made a makeshift frag rack for some pieces I'm picking up tomorrow. My 4 year old son made sure to ask if I was gonna wash my hands first before reaching into the tank. Then when placed it proceeded to bring me my "tank towel" and cut the sink on for me to wash after. Lol
 
Can't wait for my boy to be able to help me instead of opening my sump cabinet and trying to put things in the sump
And talking of tank towel mine was still soaking wet from water change so left it in the garage ,today I stole one of the towels from the upstairs bathroom .....boy am I in the s..t when see finds that one missing lol
Good night my friend chat to you soon I hope
:cool:
