Hi everyone, I have this gold torch that I got on May 6 of this year. It was doing fine in the tank but then I moved it to a bigger tank on June 23 and have not moved it from that spot since. It was doing quite well in the other tank but it has been at least about 3 weeks that that torch has not been happy. I have two other torches that seem to be much better.

It is a 28 G tank with one clownfish using a Kessil A160.

I have been trying to raise my nutrients a little because I have 0 P04 and 0 nirates.
Alk is about 9 today but was at around 10 a week ago. Calc 400 mag 1200 ph8.2

I'll list something that could maybe cause it to stress out but I am not sure if they are a factor:
10 days I increased the lights by 5% for a day but then decreased it
added carbon because I was using flatworm RX 3 days ago ( torch has been bad way before the treatment)

Any questions let me know and thank you for the help.

I would move it to spot with higher flow. I was losing a head of one of my torches, and a very small left recover to become a new head. If it losses more tissue, I would dip it in coral Rx, but to start I would place it in an area with good flow. Mine seem to like the variable speed of my MP40 Vortech (lagoon mode).

Whenever I try to add my flow to it, it seems ticked off
