Our beautiful torch stopped expanding for a few weeks. We changed the water gradually from boxed sea water (low alkalinity and alkalinity dosing) to instant ocean crystals mixed with RO water. We did it super gradual with 1 gallon water changes every 2 days. It started to close up. And now this is happening!
Parameters became almost perfect once we made that change. The alkalinity went up finally. But it seems after this last change, it just went down hill.
We brought our water to get checked and everything showed up great.
These are from my new Hanna checkers. I have calcium and phosphate checkers coming this week.
Magnesium 1640
Salinity 1.023
Nitrate 8.6
9.4 alkalinity
Last photo shows it about 2 months ago - it was expanding just a short bit. It used to be super long.
Any ideas?
