Well as per request, here is a FTS showing how rough a lot of the corals are looking after their 4-5 month lighting shortage. I ended up losing about a dozen of the more delicate frags I had and I'm going to have to do some serious pruning of some of the larger SPS colonies as a few of them suffered from some substantial die off.
Left side  Right side  Here are a few close ups of some of the corals. Most have lost a substantial amount of colour but the odd colony or frag looks just as good as they did prior to this summer. You'll have to try to mentally block out any valonia or aiptasia from the photos as I'm going to have to add some critters to help win the war against these pests. Rainbow monti frag and bonsai from aquarium illusions  FAL blue dragon  Stardust PE palys and Reef Shoppe Tri-color nana  FAL purple tabler  Seacare bonsai  Tyree pink lemonade - this guy started out as a 1/8" nub I got from a good friend  FAL unknown millepora  Cali tort

Cali tort forest - my colony and 2 frags decided it was in their best interest to combine power rangers style into a giant colony
 Aussie pocillipora  Tri-colour bird frag  Coralmaster purple valida - this guy has really lightened up and lost a lot of its color during the summer months  Rainbow monti vs A. vaughni  FAL banana lokani  Reef Shoppe Tri-colour nana  Loripes  My poor browned out efflo. It's gonna take years to get this guy looking good again.  Bottlebrush acro. About 2/3 of this colony STN'd on me due to lack of light as well as algae encroachment.

While your colours did take a hit I'm still amazed when I see how massive your colonies are. And they're only getting bigger!
