I was told torches like a higher mag level then most other corals I dosed mag and my toadstool completely closed up the the game tho
Water changes should be fine. 5 gallons a week on a 14 gallon tank? That would be 30% or a little over which seems like a lot based on your light bioload. 2 gallon/week would still be 8/month which is more than 50% each month, and plenty for a tank with just a few corals that need calcium. I wonder if your nitrate and phosphate are really low from the water changes and the torch is losing tissue from lack of food. Have you had nitrate and phosphate tested?
So your telling me 2 gallons a week should be fine ?Water changes should be fine. 5 gallons a week on a 14 gallon tank?

and just a FYI. Shouldn’t dose anything without testing first
It definitely looks happier with the new flow and if your parameters are in check- hopefully that is all that it needed! I would still consider spot feeding it if it is willing to take in food
If all my information is correct.. 14g tank with 3 stony corals. Small monti, Duncan, and torch. Then yes I think 2g /week is fine for now. With stony corals like these you should at least have a descent alk test kit so you can monitor alk in your tank to make sure it is at the proper levels over time. I use the Hanna dkh checker
Will invest in one today what do you use for regular water checks
For Alk? I use the Hanna tester HI772 in DKH
Can’t see anything
takes a minute to load
I couldn’t see it it won’t load
