My torch has never done this when the blues come on. Tonight it’s got super tiny. Is this thing getting ready to try to bail?! I tagged dying because I need to change something if it’s getting too much flow or what’s going on here before it bails. Usually it’s fluffier than this when the blues are going down. They’ve been ramping down slowly though so I think it might be closing up for the night but I’m worried. Second pic is what it looked like about a week ago while the blues were just coming on.

I wouldn’t worry. It’s not uncommon for torches to retract occasionally for a variety of reasons (to expel waste, to do a water change essentially, because something irritated it), if nothing else has changed and parameters are good, if just give it some time.

That’s kinda what I figured I’ve just never noticed it this deflated. I’ve had it a long time and haven’t changed anything so I’d say it’s fine then
