Bars' reefing adventure

Couldn't resist taking a few more pictures, all those new zoas have added a ton of color! 2 of the torches actually seem to be doing pretty alright, so I decided to attach them to the rock. Less risk of them getting knocked over and they look awesome like this lol.

I'm afraid I'm down to 1 dottyback. His/her buddy is missing for 5 days now. I still have some hope that the male is missing because he's guarding eggs though...
 
The guy I got the free corals from also gave me his diamond goby and mandarin dragonet. Both very thin. The dragonet probably wouldn't have lasted another week. I placed him in the refugium for a few days before putting him in the DT. He's active and snacking all day long. Even gained some weight already.

I also picked up 2 zetlight lancias for the edges of the tank. The hybrid is simply too small to properly light the tank at the edges.

Next month I'll be adding a few wrasses and possible another orchid dottyback.
 
Just finished reading thru your build. Lot's of ups and down which seems to be par for the course. :-) Always a great learning experience! Things are coming along beautifully now . Thanks for the morning read with my coffee! :-)
