Mine have been growing pretty well to the point I need to get a new tank for the big one, current tank is 3ft to give idea of size, new tank ordered coming in within 3-4mo. The big one in middle is a Dragon Soul, to right is a NY Knicks and behind that one is a master torch, I still cant grow any aussies as they melt on me, they are all at 300+ par except for master slowly bringing it to front @150atm.

That is some serious intensive growth! Well done sir/madam.
Here my video YouTube channel
Its hard to miss the torches
Torches definitely like some nitrates and phosphates.
Alot of people are getting bjd on torches but never had one in my system. But I also never added a new coral for 5 years.
The only problem im having is shading. As the torches grow they split. Those splits sometimes is not equal 50/50 split. And the smaller head seem to get shadowed and just wither away unless i frag them.
I ran this system before at 15 dkh without any problems but then you need higher nutrients to prevent burns/pale corals.
My torches dont seem to like any food like pellets or reef roids and barely mysis shrimp.
