Torches aren’t extending as much

[taha89]

My torches aren’t extending/opening like before. Few weeks ago I put in filter floss without knowing, it'll take out nitrates as well. I used floss because one of my wrasse likes to kick up the sand so that’s why I started using floss for a month then this happened. What can I do now? I’ll upload 2 videos of the same torch 1 month apart. Please tell me, how to fix this issue because I don’t wanna lose these expensive torches. Some people are saying torch is receding.

Please list out your current water parameters. Specifically: Alk, Ca, Mg, pH, salinity, temp.

Also please list out any recent changes other then the floss that you have made over the last ~2 months.

This will help diagnose any issues.

I don’t even know what video got uploaded but if it with orange filter on Then yes it is the before because other one is blue light I didn’t use orange filter

Yep it's got the filter and the torch looks good in that video so I assumed it was the before, but wanted to be sure first..

Can you post some pictures of the torch as is today under whites or using the filter with blues?
