Does it look like my rbta is reaching for light or does this seem normal? I’ve only seen my tank late in my light cycle lately and I don’t remember it being extended this much. It’s bern like this the last few days.

How long has it been in the tank?
 
About a month and half. It’s doubled in size over that time.

I did just change my flow a little, hopefully it doesn’t want to move.

Ok. My rbta stayed put in my last tank for the 2 years I had it. I learned that they can go from big and puffy to looking dead in a minute. But that’s what they do. Yours looks like mine did 1000 times.

If it wants to move, it will. But it looks just fine to me.
