I'm a bit confused. Do you have fish in a QT tank without the actual system setup?

Over about the course of two years, we had the lights go out a few times. First time, the breaker tripped, so we used a different line for a day until we could look into it further. Second time,...

Can coris wrasse go crazy?

I have a coris wrasse (venusta) in my 75. Seems like a good citizen, but over the past couple years, when my lights go out for a day or more (with circulation running), a seemingly healthy fish...

I don't think I would put one with a geo pygmy hawk. I think in time there would be a good chance the pygmy would get ate.

I would be concerned about detectable nitrites and ammonia.
Could you be overfeeding?

Also, are the lionfish's eyes clear?

Looking good! I would take the yellow polyps of your main rock structure. They can grow out of control and you wouldn't want them to take over the whole structure.
