Any change in flow, lighting, or parameters in the last couple of weeks?

I turned my blues up to 65% but that's it really tbh.

From level did you turn them up from?

Retracted heads look dead. Be careful of bjd or bacterial infection spreading to healthy heads. Feel like I see something on the dead heads.

The head facing directly to the camera looks like it may be a goner. Watch for any oozin slime from the area. I'm sorry.

50%

50%

That’s a pretty big jump in light intensity (50% to 65%) and could have triggered the torches retreating.

Number one rule in Reefing - Change things slowly.

I find that when a torch or hammer looks unhappy, I quickly move them to a new spot. Most of the the time they thank me by re-extending.
