Back in business!
Lost in the move: 1 cleaner shrimp (have one left)
small birdnest coral
green stylophora coral
small red montipora
Alive and well: firefish, jawfish, snails, kryptonite candycan, rose stylophora, duncan, 2 ricordia and 1 teeny tiny ricordia, maybe red and white candycane....giving it some time and hoping it recuperates.
My protein skimmer is still going haywire. Overflows in about 30 seconds. I did use epoxy when setting the rocks back up, but seems like it should be over that by now. Changed the carbon yesterday. I'm working all weekend, so monday I'll try some more stuff, like changing some water. Don't really know what else to try.

Update on my tank:
Had my first fish loss today. I got a tailspot blenny from LA yesterday. This morning it was dead. They credited my account, but not such a great deal when the shipping costs more than the fish. He was pretty. Very sad.
Also added some new corals a week or so ago:
1. cadmium pocillapora
2. Wildwood bottlebrush acro
3. rusty pink millepora
4. blastomussa wellsi
5. montipora cap (red)
6. acro echinata
7. acropora millepora
8. grape coral (like a frogspawn, but the polyps don't extend as far) more tolerant of the high flow I need for the SPS, but still needs a bit of shelter from the flow.
What I learned from this addition: Adding too many corals at once necessitates use of too much epoxy. My protein skimmer had just calmed down from having to re-do my rocks and this made it go all cattywonkers again.
My jawfish hasn't returned to his PVC house since the tank change. Oh well, win some, lose some.
Pests: I found one atapasia. Tried the lemon juice, but I used fresh lemon juice and the needle was 23gauge...too small. So, I put glue then epoxy, then glued a coral over it. I have some red fuzzy algae that I try to remove, but it's stuck on the rock pretty good. I have some green hair algae, too.
Some updated pictures:
Full tank shot. Not liking that bridge across the top. Wanted something high up for the SPS, but they look kind of silly on that thing. Will require some thought and some rearranging
Duncan
2 different ricordia and a blurry jawfish
My first fish...purple firefish doing well
Some sort of acro. Looks healthy, but color is kind of bleck, a dull army green
More corals
Cleaner shrimp and green apple cap
2 different blastos
bushy acro
kryptonite candy cane
