DAILY QUESTION: What’s your top priority: coral growth, color, or ease of use when it comes to lighting?
My top priority is a little of both coral growth and pleasing to the eyes.

Coral growth; I believe that if it is growing then that is a good sign that it is happy and I want my animals to be happy. Ease of use and colour are tied for me behind that!

DAILY QUESTION: What kind of reef are you currently running? How would you describe it?
Mixed, largely LPS and zoanthid dominated reef. I have a weakness for hammer corals, candy cane corals and zoanthids, what can I say? I am looking to add more soft corals in the future though, like a photosynthetic gorgonian, and I'd like a couple more easy SPS to go with the orange montipora plate which I somehow haven't managed to accidentally kill yet.

Yes please, all 3! :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:
Coral color? All the new fixtures can grow coral, so color would be my adjusted priority. I very rarely mess with my lighting so I guess if it was fantastic for the coral but I spent 30 mins cussing it... not ideal but I could live with it.

My top priority is coral health, growth and color kind of go hand in hand and certainly are both indicators of a healthy coral. Ease of use is nice but no where near as important as the health of the corals.
