As an update, the torch is much more open this morning than the last week.
Since it appears torches don't like to grow over their old skeleton, I guess it's a matter of it growing a new one.
Here it is this morning. I did my best to get a picture. Sorry for being blurry. I didn't want to bother it further by messing with the lights.
This a few days ago before I trimmed my chaeto down. I seriously thought it was a goner.
Weird part is, no one else seemed to care about the low nitrates. This one is very serious with it's demands.
learning what our corals want is all part of the reefing hobby. Each one will behave so much more different than the next.
Edit: nitrates are at 5 while phosphates hang on around .01. I'll through in a few extra feedings today for the fish. Won't they be happy.
