It has been a long time since I updated this thread. Since the last update, I have moved, so the tank changed a lot.
Before the move:
A few months after the move:
The "new" tank needs to grow in a bit before it gets to where my last one was. The only loss of the move was the Halymenia sp. macro algae... one day without light and it died. It may also have been due to nutrient shock (being placed suddenly in a nutrient poor, unestablished tank).
The seagrass has rebounded well, and all of the corals were pretty much unaffected by the move.
New dragonette
Need to add a cover with the new fish (plus I have a cat...). I had this custom made, but unfortunately within days it started warping and is now pretty ugly. If anyone knows how to fix this sort of issue I'm all ears!
This probably hasn't helped with the problem...
My refugium
Happy holidays!
