Hey guys, so I’ve had a torch for a few weeks, it has opened up way bigger than it is now but for some reason it stays retracted. My Acans seem to be fine. I also have a GSP that isn’t opening up any more either and it used to look like a nice patch of grass blowing in the wind. I believe my parameters are fine the last time I checked them they were fine. No ammonia, nitrite etc. you think this could be too high flow? Not enough flow? Maybe too much or too little light? I have a hipargero 100w 5chann on the LPS setting and a Jerepet 2100gph mini DC 12v 12W power head on the 20% setting

Nitrates and Phospate levels need to be safely elevated for LPS and GSP. Zero is probably not healthy for the corals unless you run SPS only. This balance is delicate for mixed reef.

How would I elevate them, more food?
