Ok to be honest, I haven't read the other responses that came in after your reply following my post - so, if I re-state something someone has already covered, my apologies...
Ok so I read your response where you stated the difference in lighting and aeration. First with the lighting - major difference between T5's and MH, not only in brightness, but more importantly in spectrum. MH ISSS a good thing for reefs, but you need to keep in mind that most softies DO NOT need high lighting because even though they do utelize photosynthesis, it's not anywhere near to the degree that SPS and LPS corals do/ Placing them at the bottom is a good start, but don't be afraid to move them out od direct lighting either. Remember, even if they look like they are in the "shade", they are still getting refragmented rays and the spectrum is much more intense, supplementing anything they'd be missing otherwise from being sheltered from a lesser source (T5 for example).
BUT... It may not be the only issue here. What stuck out to me immediately was aeration. I can't stress enough how vital it is - especially in a reef, where damn near everything is living - to have adequate oxygenation. Surface disturbance - to oxygenate waters and release natural gasses is vital, as well as mid-column current. I would advise against using bubble wands and opt for power heads. Airstones alone generally won't provide anywhere near the O2 or current you need for a healthy system. Returns from sumps/canisters help if placed along the top portion of the tank, but you want full circulation. Fish can swim to better oxygenated areas (might wanna watch their behavior too for clues), but corals can't, they rely on what you provide them and for most - where you put them.
For starters, trying aerating the tank more efficiently, and re-adjust your lighting, remove one MH (actinics are fine), unless they are within the same unit (Then I'd suggest trying T5's on the home tank as an experiement to either rule out or confirm lighting as a contributor). Try to match your home tank with your work tank and see if yo notice improvements, and then modify from there to identify the line crossed from good to bad.
I really hope that he acclimates okay.
