1300 mag
420 calc
alk 7.7
ammonia 0
nitrite 0

my other 2 torches doing fine 2 days ago the torch in question just fully retracted at 2pm which is unusual then since it has never been the same

Has the torch for like 2 month now and it's been bulletproof apart from the last 2 days
How long has the tank been running for? Is your tank going through the ugly stages still?

Pics a little blurry, but it seems like you have a major algae outbreak and maybe cyano too. Cyanobacteria definitely ticks off torches in my experience.
