My golden torch seems not happy. See pix.ipad-2 pix is awful but you get idea.

It's in corner area with med flow.

Any advice ?

Thanks

I would as the above post suggested. It looks as though it is out but but looks like a deflated ballon.
 
Yes that will happen with not enough flow, silly question but it's important, how long ha the light been on? Sometimes in the morning and nights my touch will look small but flow will help
 
yep, that's how mine looks in the morning after lights on... after an hour or so it's full and waving.. mine is happy in low flow or med-high flow, it just won't look as wavy in low flow..
 
flow!
before i bought mine at the lfs he was in low flow and looked just like that
i came back a week later he placed him in higher flow and he looked beautiful snatched him up immediately!

I did buy it last week, and i think i going to move it to a higher flow area, it looked better at the lfs!!
But hopefully can go back to normal!!

Hey how is your torch doing?
 
Yea, once it's a nice waving flow it will open but it will take a few days for it to fully flow
