Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Is it run that blue normally? Do you get any growth?

I've seen this tank when it first started over a year ago. It's in the local reefing store called elite reef a few miles away. Great display!

This will be one heck of a display once the zoas completely cover the branches.Are you planning on adding more strains of zoas to the list?
Perhaps a Floor of gsp would also compliment it well and add another perspective to the view.

That's the normal spectrum the lights run at in the video. Some of the strains have grown quite a bit while others haven't. They all started as single heads.

I do still have a couple of strains to add. Utter Chaos wasn't around when I started this one and it's by far my favorite.

Wow looks great, two questions is the video done with out the pumps on just thinking you may have very high flow for those zoa's. Can you share a pic of the kessil over the tank, really interested in your lighting schedule (color/intensity/timing) as well as height. Sorry for all the questions most people struggle with these Kessil's since they are confused with the settings.

It's a pretty low flow tank actually. All I've got on this one is a small HOB filter with a little sponge in it. I don't remember what exact intensities the lights are set at, but it gets about nine hours of light per day with the light about a foot off the water. I'll try to get you some more details and pictures later today.
