Thanks guys! The Todds Torch is everyone's favorite when they see the tank in person. I bought it over a year ago from ARC (1 head) and its grown to 5 heads under T5 lighting, hopefully it keeps the growth rate with the LED lighting.
None of the heads are separated enough from one another to frag it yet (just incase I start getting PM's).

yeah sweet set up, i like the rock wall!! Does it come up and out of the water, then the return water trickles down it and in to the tank?
Yeah your TT looks great,I see you clown around it, do your clowns host/love the torch? Mine love their two anemones but cant stay out of my TT and look sweet wrapped up in the tentacles!

The female clown "hosts" in the TT and will be in it most of the day/sleep in it at night. The male clown fish isn't allowed up by it and the female keeps him down in the lower portion of the tank. He sleeps in the purple candy cane corals, actually.
The rock wall is siliconed to th back wall so goes to the top left overflow, into the back chambers of the tank (Solana 34 Gallon, made by Current USA). I made the rockwall go up and out of the water because I thought it would look good (I think it does, at least) and I could hide some of the stuff hanging out of the back chamber a little bit when looking at the tank from where I sit in our living room. Here's a link to my build thread you can see the construction of the rock wall:

So.. I have a few questions for URS.
I've had the AI LED light on the tank for three weeks now, I'm using the default settings on the tank and I think the highest any bulb gets is 40%. Well, everything was doing fine for the first two weeks (eating, open, colorful) and all of a sudden I started to loose some corals.
First my chalice coral started to receed from one side. So I lowered the coral to the bottom of the tank on the sand. Next my purple acans started to receded slowly, now my green candy corals are starting to turn white under the heads and recede.
I raised the LED lights higher and I dropped the intensity of the bulbs to under 35percent. Does this sound like the change in lighting is "bleaching" or killing the corals? Anyone else have a problem going through a transition between T5 and LEDs?
