I have this torch and I'm wondering if it is normal for one side to be full and wavy and the other to constantly to be sucked in. Not sure if it is a health issue, a flow issue, a placement issue...or? Anyone have any input or guidance?

These are the latest readings, except I did retest Nitrate with my new hanna checker and it is above 5ppm. Haven't done the second test to get exact yet...

Is this a brand new piece for your tank? I see a hammer in the background of the video so if it has to similar flow and light, you should give it time. It may be too much flow though.

Give it a day or 2. I had a torch that completely disintegrated by day 4, but it looked way worse than that. If you bought today...at least they are out.

The flow on the good head looks great.
Nitrate below 10 is fine.
How long has it been that way?

Torch and Hammer have both been in the tank for eight days. Hammer seems happy, half of torch seems happy...I suppose? Not that I would know what a happy coral looks like!

I have my MP10 on the lowest setting...I'll turn it off for now.
