It’s been a while since I’ve had a torch and want to know if this flow is too little. Thanks
 
Hey Parker, I hope all is well and school is going good, Senior? Ya I agree , some stronger random flow. Here’s an example of mine.

All is good. Senior year has been fun so far. Wow your toes look amazing. How’s everything else going?

Thanks Parker, everything is going well. I don’t know if you caught it but I upgraded at the beginning of the year to a Waterbox 150.4. I see your tank is doing awesome.

Awesome! Can’t wait to see pictures.

That's helpful to me too, Kevin. I am not sure about my torches either only I am worried about too much flow.

They can take more than you would think Dawn.
 
Hey Mate- Beautiful Joker torch you've got there! You could afford to do with a bit more flow but wouldn't blast it. Some torches like a bit more, some a bit (or a lot!) less.

I run an IM 200EXT with 4 MP40's (2 length, 2 on back) and they are cranked all the way down below 13%. Sometimes less is more. I'll include a video I just took for my torch garden (with romantic coral viewing music in the background for full effect 😂)

Cheers!

Nothing like a little George Michael to make torches romantic! 😂

Wow your torches look great! I moved the torch a few hours ago and this is how it looks now. Not sure if it’s doesn’t like the spot as much or maybe it’s just upset that I moved him a couple hours ago

Thank you-thats very kind!

Give them time to settle. I always start mine in the sanded. Sometimes, they like to move, sometimes, just as the video shows, they stay put. Let the tank talk to you- it'll let you know what it needs. Flow doesn't look bad! If it retracts, try less flow. Keep us posted!

Will do. Thanks for the help.
 
Update on torch: seems happy in this new spot so far. There is random flow with some being fast and sometimes very little to none for a few seconds .
