Torch under AI Sols

aculross · 10/05/2011, 05:20 PM

Wonder if anyone is keeping a torch under AI Sols - I have 4 units over my 120 (24" deep) and have the torch on the bottom - does not seem to be extending well after a couple of days here - I have my AI's on about 50% power -

Too much? Too little?

TIA !

I had few torches in my 12in deep frag tank with not problems, the extension of the torch is great since I have some good flow on them no matter the intensity of light, obviously if you put too much light you will see the coral losing color...or bleech it..medium light is good

Not sure how applicable this is but I have a torch that responds best when it is getting nearly a direct blast from the powerhead.... it gets huge. I moved some powerheads around and it was definitely getting some flow (what I would consider moderate) and it did not like it one bit. Powerhead back on him and he's fully extended once again.

Thanks - interesting I always thought they didn't want to much flow
