The biggest challenge would be trying to find a perfect light in general with so many options out there BUT we all know that if I win that Orphek then there will be no challenge as that will offer the perfect light spectrum for any tank haha
I do not know much about lights but from what I have read, I think what goes underrated is the lights themselves and how long they last (continue with the same output) over the years.
I do not currently have any success or experience growing coral but I KNOW that if I win this Orphek, I will have the best stories and photos to share of how they make my corals look and thrive! haha

i have a frag of bill murray acropora that RTN'd from shipping, only a little splotch of flesh was left next to the plug. That was a few months ago, now the splotch has colored up and nubs are starting to form
I mapped out my aquariums with a par meter. Then mark the par numbers on a picture of my tank for later reference. It makes finding the perfect spot super easy!
Guesstimation and prayer
Or a glitter goni, preferably a red one
I don't think I really have a dream coral. There are a lot I like but none I lust after. Closest would be maybe a softball to basketball-sized peach hammer. I tend to like old-school generic corals over the latest-catchy-name fad of the day corals.
