Hey guys, Ive had this purple Indo torch in my display for a few months, it's basically been in this state of minimal opening up for the entirety. Wondering if it's a lower light variant as most of my other torches get around this same par albeit I did place this one in the highest position but only by an inch or two. First pic is for reference second pic are my three options for replacement (marked with X, triangle and circle) that still get decent flow, thoughts on where to place? Or is my diagnosis correct of too much light? I will say I got a batch of 4 torches that came with EEFW so I nuked them in QT for 90 days the other 3 torches bounced back and this one was doing fine in QT as well til transferred to display tank where its just never opened up for Id say 3 months. Indo in question is towards the top to the left of the large green torch.
