Torch dead?

[sheeb]

Took this torch off the frag plug and cracked the skeleton. Superglued together and it was doing well and now, it just closed up real bad. Here’s a pic

The hardest part about a cracked skeleton is that bacteria can get trapped inside under the glue.

My advice is to give the torch a bath in this solution for 2 hours. I'd say 6 hours as I do all lps but with the skeleton being cracked I'd go a little less time and see how it reacts.

If bacteria is caught under the glue there won't be much to do if it starts dying off.

At that point you will need to clean under the glue and see how much torch you have left to save.

So sorry this is happening.

In 4g mix dry first for 10 min with airstone, heater and power head.

500mg cipro
10 scoops chemiclean either one

After dissolved add

5 full droppers of iodine
5ml restore
5ml amino acid
5ml witch hazel

For torches the suggested time is 6 hours on initial bath.

I turn the power head off for most of the treatment after the meds ar mixed.
