A couple videos from today of the 360 gallon anemone reef. I added a few new fish since last posting. I added a very nice baby blue LTA that is doing great. Unfortunately, I can't get the true color to show up on the video. My BIG Chicago sunburst split! One of the Mags has bleached, don't know why. It's still eating fortunately. The orange skunk, pink skunk, and big white ocellaris are all still spawning! So far, so good!
Full spectrum: Under blues:

Very cool nem tank - love it! Issues with some nems moving around & stinging others?

My Haddonis move all the time but the RBTAs tend to stay put once settled.
Thank you very much! No issues with any stinging each other. Plenty of room for everyone. They have all pretty much stayed put. There are a few straggler BTA clones that pop up here and there in between the Mags, but they don't see to bother one another. The LTA's seem to move around the most.

I'm still getting used to the Red Sea 160s. They are a very nice light and everything looks really good under them at full spectrum, bta's, lta's, corals and fish! However, my Mags do not look as good as they did under the 250 watt 14K halides. The Mags colors are a bit washed out.
I'm going to give them another 5 to 6 months to see if my eye adjusts or to see if the Mags adjust.
There is a strong chance I go back to halides with LED supplementation.

One of my red LTA's moved from its place in the sandbed, 3 feet across the tank, AND up into the rocks!
I've never seen that before. I actually like it there, kinda looks like a fire red Mag! :)
Video coming soon.

This morning it was right next to the green LTA in the sand. Now it's halfway up the rockscape 3 feet away. I wonder where it will be tomorrow morning? Fingers crossed it stays put. I really like it there in the rocks, but expect it will be back to the rocksand interface soon. I'm going to turn the flow down tonight just to make sure it doesn't float up into the gyres, even though they have mesh guards.
