Sorry bud that one looks toasted. Torches are finicky. Your MG is pretty high but probably has nothing to do with it. You need stability and a healthy one to start with.

Looks gone. Can't help with the cause but I have had this happen the 2 times I tried a torch. I can keep frogspawn but not a torch My mag and alk stay lower than yours 1350 and 7.9 but they die.
