those torch tentacles!

I picked up a new torch on Friday, and my goal is to track how long it takes to develop flesh bands similar to my existing torches. March 28tth Torch journey of the Holy Grail. April 22nd - Looks like the receding continues. May 8th - A little better, but there seems to be growth. May 19th...

WWC jelly bean 2-week growth after fragging with a dremel. Not sure if I fragged it right, but it does look like there is new growth. I am just glad it survived.

Torches are doing well! One of the things I am looking at is torch health. How important is the flesh band? I noticed the torches that has been in my tank for over 3+ months have nice flesh bands but the newly acquired torches flesh band are non-existent. I wonder if they will grow over time.

Plumbing is such a pain, but I finally got it done! Currently doing leak test /crossingfingers. Edit: Ball Valves. I purchased 3 different brands. Results and pricing below. Cypex 3/4 ball valve inch $26 = good! a little on the expensive side. Kaplan 3/4 ball valve inch $15 = good! would buy...

How about these types of events? 80/20 workshop - fish tank stands/light mounts? Saltwater mixing station - how to build?

My trigger setup is the same as the 1" fitting for the return pump and I noticed a very slight leak (1 drop a day?). When touched it's not wet, but you can see a bit of salt creep. I remember watching videos/ or reading documents when I first installed this and this was the way to install from...

3 pieces of carib sea life rock. Used it to seed coraline on my new aquascape. Moved it in the sump today. located in Milpitas.

Indo Gold Torch so there is no confusion.

Japenese Deep Water Weeping Willow 10 month growth. Picture of the Mother and the person I got it from. (not mine)

Good point! My last order was Jan 12.

Do you know if this is specific to the seller? I have purchased other items from AliExpress without any extra charges.

I also face low phosphates/nitrates and my (LPS) tank is a little older than 6 months. My desired parameters are P: .06+/ N 15+. Until I can get to those numbers with feeding, I am currently supplementing P at .29 ppm and N at .06 ppm /daily.

I recommend putting it in a QT tank away from other corals and applying treatment. The good news is that I have had torches in worse conditions that survived, and yours doesn't look too bad comparatively. If you don't have a QT tank available, I created the treatment solution, put it in a...

Not my picture/coral, but it shows the shape of the coral similar to the one I have. I've seen many videos on how to frag a toadstool, but this shape is a little different. Does anyone have experience fragging this coral? It's called a JDWW. Not My Coral.

I kept two rocks from my original aquascape to help with coraline algae propagation on the new rocks. About a month later, happy to see signs of coraline growth. Tank is starting to normalize after removing rocks/substate and adding new aquascape. A few observations. PH peak dropped from 8.3...

Thanks for spending to the time and making this video! Definitely should stop by your store more often.

Added a new Aquascape - removed some rock - and moved substrate to the sump. Results: PH Drop: slowly recovering. N04 and P03: Not much change which was surprising. Alkalinity: Consumption dropped by half. PH Chart for the week of adding a new aquascape.

My PSI is currently 60-65, should I get a booster?

My 3155 died this weekend and I think the issue could be the pump. I have ordered a new one and hope that it will arrive soon. Manually adding water sucks! I am lazy to troubleshoot. If anyone wants it let me know.
