Yeah, the torch is a beautiful white torch. I couldn't pass it up at the lfs. I've got it in a high flow spot with flow coming from various directions, so its pretty happy

In so far as the apstia, I've been reading numerous threads on it and I prefer a natural solution to chemicals (peppermint shrimp maybe). Otherwise I think I'm going to buy a syringe and some Joe's juice and just start hitting them up one by one. Yesterday they did a number on my red mushrooms and it pretty much pushed me over the edge.
