Hey everyone, I just got this torch about three days ago, I temp acclimated it in a bag for thirty minutes and then dipped it for fifteen.

it’s been a mix of being half fully open and half retracted, it’s a single head so I thought it was a bit weird. I’m new to torches so I’m a little lost on what is going on. I also have a frogspawn that is fully extended and is happy so I’m just hoping it’s just still acclimating.

temp: 79
Salinity: 1.026
Cal: 400
Alk: 8.0
Mag: 1300

tested with Hanna checker
