Few updates:

Tank is running smoothly, the zoa tank is going through a bit of an algae cycle (Lots of hair algae and a bit of cyano). I finally decided on rock rubble for the zoa tank substrate, really happy with how it looks and should help with growing them out. Waiting on a colony of blue hornets and some nicer zoas from Bayside, will post photos when they come in.

So far the zoa tank has a tail spot blenny, a radiance wrasse and my 4 baby bangii's (Once they are grown they will go to a new home) but I can't decide If I want anything else. Anyone have experience with Orchid Dotty backs or Neon Dotty backs, looking to add a little color so suggestions are welcome.

The main tank is doing well, very happy with the doser results as It seems I have had a bit of a growth spurt in the last month. I'm really enjoying the open sand bed with the zoas being in there own tank, it makes the tank look much more open. I followed Kien's advice and have purchased another cleaner and pair of fire shrimp to boost my live food count, never knew that fire shrimp also cleaned but now I have a whole cleaner station going on with all the fish regularly partaking.

Will grab photos tonight If I can steal the camera from Devan.

Thanks John, I'm very happy with the way it's worked out. The zoas seem to be really enjoying the new tank, I'm not going to frag any of my colonies for atleast 6 months as I would like more of a grown in look.

I'm also contemplating some species of dwarf angel but I have a history of coral eaters so it's still up in the air.

I had the neon dottyback, nice fish except that it kept picking on other fish constantly. Had to get 'em out before I lost my firefish!
