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.
