Nice one, what is the green coral on the bottom center? It almost looks like an Acro that hasn't branched yet?

Great looking tank! Can you share your photoperiod with Radions? How do you run them as far as intensity, colors...?

I've changed graph so many times in past 10 month's. I tried 100% with all
colors for 6 hours, blues for 6 hours. I ran this for 3 months.. But that was
way to much light. I had crazy growth with some bleaching. Had to hide all my
chalice's. I am now running all colors 100% with over all intensity 83% for
3hours then 20k setting for 1 hour,blues 8 hours. Still getting great growth.
I'm hoping this will be a happy middle. So far it looking promising. For more
info see my build.

Thanks for the info... I'm going through same pains right now. It looks like I'm getting too much light cause corals grow like weed but lose color.

I found this in my frag tank yesterday. I don't remember when or where I got it. Let's watch and see how it grows up.
