Do you supplement with any LED's? Not sure if your fixture is dimmable or not if so do you run @100%?

Yes reef brite actinic tech strip. Dimmable unit. I have it ramp from 0 to 100 from i believe 11 to 130. Then ramp down 630 to 830. Leds come on a 45 minutes before and after the t5s are lit. Led stays on. I love this bulb combo, i may be near the point of trying something new =)

I have the 8 bulb dimmable with a reef brite as well. I too am thinking of switching the colors up. I liked the look of your tank and was curious. I currently run 5-B+ 2P+ and 1 C+

Curious to see what the 2 purple plus bulbs turn out to look like. Just the single purple bulb makes a big difference on the daytime color of my tank. It basically washes out that "windex" look for me. The bulb is like a red version of an actinic, instead of bringing out the fluorescence, it brightens the reds purples oranges - when viewing the tank.

Galaxy s5. If I do take photos under all blues or LEDs I would use my Nikon. Just picked up the d7500 haven't hadden the chance to really use it yet.

Im not that a fan of zoanthids also. Those zoanthids caught my eye, the colony looked brilliant, so i had to take some home =)

2 and a half years growth. What i found funny was the hammer coral actually encrusted on the disk it was on. First time ever seeing something like that on a euphyllia
