torch slouching.jpg


Tank Params:

Salinity: 1.0245
Temp: 77
Calc: 420
Alk: 7-7.3
Mag: 1320
PH: 7.8
Nitrates: 2.5

About 2 weeks ago i took out the torch to superglue that little side of it, in order to trap in some bubble algae and a vermetid snail. Since then, it's been super deflated and sad looking.

Anything I can do to help it out?

Has it been getting worse and worse? Stayed the same? I would suggest just leaving it be and seeing how it does. If it gets worse it could be a flow issue and if not you could try a dip to see if there’s any pests bothering it. I guess I’d do a bunch of observation (:

more or less it's been the same, at night it looks pretty bad, really closed up. During the day it's basically always like this

Trust me i've been observing all day every day :P this hobby is not for the impatient
