Definitely will be watching this build. Especially since I just bought the same tank and I'm a few months behind you on setting it up. Just finished my stand but I still have to build a door for it. Love your aquascaping.

I have the same aquarium different light. But, I run the blue 100%, cool white 30%, and red and green 0%. And, when the white channel is on it looks natural, but the coral needs the blue not the white.I like more of a natural look. So blues are set to about 20-25 cool white is I think 40, uv and moons 0, red and green are 2-5. It’s also on acclimation mode set to 15% over a month. Fish seemed stressed out when I first put the light on so I’m trying not to blast them too hard.
Also is there a way to change spectrum without changing sun up and down and having all light kick back up to 60?
I’m hoping once the fish get used to the light I can play around with the light a bit more and find some setting people use with success that isn’t really blue. Also need to try to get a par meter.
Wow, really came along well! Corals look great, don’t worry about the red one still acclimating. You may want to consider placing your zoas on a rock island so you can control their spread. Here is a picture of my island.We’ll the urchin did a pretty good job of cleaning up the algae. There is also a green algae starting to form. Can’t tell what it is but I suspect it’s hair algae. Water seems to be stable. But sitting at 20 nitrates. Hoping it will go down slowly with the smaller feedings I’ve been doing. Also couldn’t resist and got 4 corals from the cheap frag tank.
The green, I believe micromussa, has inflated a lot since I’ve gotten it. It also accepted a couple small pieces of mysis. The red one looks a lot more colorful than at the store but won’t accept food. The zoas are open and seem happy, as happy as a coral can look I guess.
