I have not seen this product before, if it helps with bubble algae I will be buying it buy the 55g drum, lol. I will have to look it up, keep us posted.
If he got nuked in the power head, I would be doing water changes and running extra carbon if you have it. I don't think some extra rodi water would kill a RBTA that quickly.
I have the Elos stand and I really don't worry about it at all. There is no wobble or anything that looks cheap about it. Is is built like a tank with metal and solid woods? No but I never go to bed worrying about it. The old stand on my 57g on the otherhand, that was cheap.
The coral plus bulb is a 14kish bulb so that balances out the blue+. The purple plus/KZ fiji pink is really just there for some color pop. I like the combo, probably would align really nicely with the 12-14k looks. I know people love the GE 6500 bulb as it packs really nice PAR, but the drop...
My comment was more to do with color, it just sounds like it will be very white which might not give you the pop with zoas. I saw you mentioned in your review of the reefchicks.com website that the zoas were not as bright in your tank, and under those lights they won't be.
