Back after 23 days of vacation. Looks like I lost one firefish, but everything else seems fine. Alk only dropped 2 dKh during this time since there aren't many stony corals still. @Srt4eric did a great job keeping things fine stopping by once a week. He had to add an extra 300W heater since the lower temps from the Nest thermostat while we were away meant I needed more power. 2x200W just wasn't enough.
The tiny Tomini tang is a little bigger and its fin is still healing. The copperband and Bellus angels aren't zooming around like crazy idiots anymore too!
There's a little algae on the sand but otherwise coralline is showing up and the cut corals are healed up.
Waiting until my @ReeFi lights come in and will pick up more rock soon. The single Kessil A360 XE looks great color wise after adding the Wi-Fi module.
Debating if I want to add a larger angel like an imperator, but the tank is probably a foot too small. Saw a few in Florida that act like dogs, really cool fish.

I had a lmperator angel for years. It’s a really cool fish. They are like dogs. They grunt at you too. Pretty cool. They love LPs like acans and Zoas.
He was eating freeze dried mysis right out the avast. When I would go into would drop a cube of frozen and he would go right for that. He basically eats right out of your hand.
Specifically it likes the San Francisco Bay brand of mysis, credit @CaseyP for that one! It definitely is stinkier and darker brown than the BRS one that it won't touch. Doesn't like the PE mysis flakes, the cobalt mysis flakes, or any pellet that I've tried online that others on sites mentioned. I mixed in some calanus that seems to get them all excited too.
But even a minute of Plank "on" status seems to barely put much food out and of course the hogs like the wrasse, clown, and molly seem to get the food first, but at least the CB didn't look skinny. Still will always feed frozen when I'm home of course for variety.
I'm wondering if there's any freeze dried worms or shaved clam out there that would work too?

Sfbb fd bloodworms
Rocks finished curing for a couple weeks in PNS bacteria and added them to the scape while temporarily mounting some corals:
Swapped black chips with @SupraSaltyReefer and driver boards with @boun11 this weekend, so both MP40s finally are communicating with the wave engine! Thanks everyone for tracking down the parts:
Waiting on the aluminum bar to hang the ReeFi lights next. Late night actinic shot:

Wow took the cbb a while to get homie!! He was eating THERA +A smalls plus freeze dried in my tank wonder if bare bottom was the factor.... Great to hear!
Got the male copperband from @salty_taste and his dad yesterday (great tanks with really healthy fish and corals!)
Pairing attempt with the club's acclimation box:
Yesterday was lots of fin flaring at first and tail swipes, but in the evening there was lots of calm pecking at rocks nearby. Today the male ate some mysis and the female is constantly looking in all day. She wandered into the open side too:
Did a 20% water change and cleaned things. Mounted the frags from @salty_taste and his dad. Nub of Oregon tort in the back right, some reddish polyped valida I think, @derek_SR 's Turaki in the front. Middle right booger is a WWC grafted monti. Left side some purple tipped green base acro:
SCOP in the back, a sad Walt Disney, a nice light green purple tipped acro from @salty_taste , @tribbitt 's echinata, and a frag of something from @derek_SR on the bottom left I forgot:
FTS:
Top down to show @Coral reefer 's handiwork with the rocks (and my patch of cyano):

I love that the acclimation box also has an aquascape. Great idea.
