What are your phosphates? Torch’s can sometimes be sensitive and are finicky.

I’m sorry to hear of your loss. If you plan to get another one. The best thing you can do. Test your water anyway. See what your parameters or nutrients are. See where you went wrong and try to control it before getting another torch.
