Yeah, I was just texting darren about that. Basically the story behind it goes a little something like this: Steve from Ultra Corals a sponsor on here posted about a sick rainbow chalice he got in and wanted to move. I called Steve and got a price and Darren and I went halves on it. I named...
The two downsides to DC pumps at the moment are not a lot of head pressure and non standard plumbing. Obviously the plumbing part is very easy to overcome, just can be a touch annoying. I think if you are sump in stand, the DC makes sense, but if you are in a basement (like me) the head loss...
I have never heard the clam part, though just about any fish will nip at a clam given the right conditions. Wrasses in that genus can go after CUC but their mouths are pretty small so they are not going to devastate a CUC, depending on whay you have. Same with cleaner shrimp, I think a well...
I have never done it, but you are essentially injecting kalk paste into the pest. Yes is can be done underwater. I know others have even had success with injecting boiling water.

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.
