The torch has been through a lot of changes in the past few weeks. After the tank transfer it stayed closed. I noticed that in the morning flow schedule it was extending and by the afternoon flow schedule it was closed. So I lowered flow a little and it's been having good extension throughout the whole day.
I do feel like it's a little paler than usual. I was a little worried it was bleaching so I lowered the lights. It was at 100-115 par and I lowered the lights to 90-100 par.
After the transfer the nutrients changed with all the new water.
No3 was 15ppm and now it's 6.9ppm
Po4 was .16ppm and now it's .1ppm
Alk, cal, mag and salinity have all been stable.
Basically everything changed a little. Flow, light and nutrients. All the other corals look great. There's a hammer next to it that is always fully extended and great colors.
I'm hoping he's just taking a crap, lol.
