I've got a question about torches. I have 6-8 different torch pieces in my tank. Some of them have a fully extended, healthy fleshband. And then I have a couple others that have a smaller, not as puffy fleshband. Some of the torches with a concerning flesh band recently had a head split. Oddly enough I have hammers with long, full bands that I have no concern about.

My parameters are as follows
SG 1.025
PO4 .05
Nitrate 8ppm
Calc 430
Mag 1320

I'm dosing AFR and Isol8 MT three drops a day. The polyps are full, extended with sweepers and colored up. PAR in some areas gets to around 180. That would be the only point that I could think would be off. Thoughts?
 
Do you have photos?

What kind of flow are they getting?
 
I'll get a video. I think it's solid. I'll let you take a look
