Hello guys i need some help with one of my torches which is close to being finished with it’s first split, im not sure if its a normal split or if i should be concernd, the flesh ”band” looks abit weird but all other torches looks completly fine however this one in particular has grown like crazy the past month in length.

My params are:
Kh, 9.3 dkH (salifert)
Mg, 1455 (salifert)
Ca, 455 (salifert)
Nitrate, 10.1 ppm (hanna checker)
Phosphate, 0.12 ppm (Hanna checker)
PH in the evening between 8.4-8.5 (Hanna checker)
Temp 26.1 celcius (79 Fahrenheit)
I test these params twice a week always at the same time (not ph) and latest test was yesturday.
The tank is 1 year and 6 months old and have been stable with above params give or take (not exactly those params at all times but very little swings from those values) for 8-9 months except phosphates which has been stabilized 1-2 months ago and used to hoover between 0.2-0.35 before stabilizing it.

I do 15% wc weekly using red sea coral pro black bucket and the tank is 740L total volume (195 gal)
