What should i do about my torch? I noticed my torch a month ago had two white tencticles. Now im noticing 2 other tencticles are half bleached.
phos is at .01
Nitrate 1ppm
Alk 9.8
Calc 440
Mag 1290
Sal 1.026
Temp 78
Lighting ai prime running abs i shortened the light period a month ago to see if it would boucne back. I know my nutrience is low this is what is was a 5 days ago. Will test again today. Have been feeding reef roids hopefully the nutrience goes up.

Could be too much light and low nutrient try to bump it up little bit. Soft corals like more dirty water also the flow. Here is mine torchs

Should i raise the nutrience and see if that fixes it first or should i move it as well. Running the abs plus on the ai primes. Should i really worry about my torch or is it easy for the animal to recover.

Yes i would suggest slowly raise the nutrience and not messing with the light at this time, try not to change many things all at once that could causing corals stress and disease like brown jelly that you dont't want it happen. To see how your coral will react since the light still in acclimating and corals need time for them to adjust.
