Hey everyone! New poster and new reefer here and Im having some challenges and Id like some guidance, please.
I have attached video and pictures of my current set-up and scape.
Initially, I thought I had snagged an Indo torch but upon further research it seems the the Jester Torch I purchased is an Aussie, please correct me if I am wrong.
I would like to create a Euphyllia garden area ( I know I am limited as its a 20gal Cube)
Can these all cluster together or should they be spaced out more?
Any tips on how to arrange them? I am not sure of the PAR yet as I cannot find a PAR meter locally.
Thanks everyone, really enjoy reading these forums!

Welcome to R2R! Your torches look great!

Torches are tricky - need very stable parameters, moderate lighting, and low to moderate flow. Torches can be clustered together and touching each other.

I lost a favorite hell fire torch during an ALK swing so keep those parameters stable.

Thanks for the reply!
I wasnt sure if it being an 'Aussie' made things more difficult since the hammers and spawns seem to be Indo origin. I wish mine had the long tentacles like Indo's but for my first torch I am pleased. Would you cluster the hammers and spawns?
