A few new additions Line-spot flasher wrasse and a pair of Nahackys in acclimation.
Since I'm adding wrasse, it was time to add a lid. I was contemplating one of the polycarbonate interlocking lids, but the lead time was about 3 months and wasn't ready to commit to the placement of the feeder. With the double eurobrace, there is a nice little inset that conceals the lid frame well. I picked up a couple 48" screen kits at home depot and clear mesh from BRS and built a three piece lid. The lid fits really well, isn't visible, and was much less expensive to make so likely not going to add a different lid in the near future.
Also added the Avast Plank. Avast built an extra large platform to accomodate the width of the eurobrace on the new tank for me. I used one of the Neat Aquatics feeding portals to accomodate the feeding tube.
I started using the feeder on the old system. It's my first automatic feeder, and I find it works really well. The fish and corals both seemed to benefit from the more frequent smaller feedings on the old system. Currently I'm feeding the tank about 6 times/ day.
