Is anyone losing torches all of a sudden? I’m using Red Sea salt blue bag, And all of a sudden, I’m losing torches 1 every 2 days.
And that the only change I did different within a month was due a water change. Now three other people that recently did the water change as well are using Red Sea also and they also losing torches and some SPS.

Been using the RS blue for a couple of years now since TM pro was limited and then the prices have gotten ridiculous. I have noticed that the Mag level is lower and needs to be bumped up…however I only do about 10-20% a month because my tank is pretty stable with its parameters. I test weekly and verify twice a year with ICP tests….

The water change with Red Sea salt might be affecting your tank's stability, especially with torch corals and SPS. Some salt mixes can have slight variations in parameters like calcium, alkalinity, or magnesium, which may stress sensitive corals. It’s worth testing your water for any unusual shifts and considering a different salt mix if the issue persists. You might also want to check for any other environmental factors, like lighting or flow changes. When my friend couldn’t manage her coursework due to personal issues, I stepped in to help her find support. We chose https://lastminutewriting.com/coursework LastMinuteWriting, and they delivered an exceptional paper. The work was precise, well-researched, and completed ahead of schedule. It gave her the confidence to move forward with her studies. She was so grateful for the help and now trusts this service for her academic needs. It’s been a great experience!
I also use RS blue.

I use blue bucket and have several tanks full of sps, send out monthly icp tests. Never a salt related issue. You should send out an ICP (which also checks rodi) to to rule out a chemistry issue before it's considered 'bacterial'. Torches can be a pain like that. Sorry that you're losing heads. Hopefully it stops for you.
