Should I be worried?

So, one more week and I get to put my fish back in the DT. I can't wait! Feels like forever, and realistically, the tank has been running for 14 months, of which nearly half had no fish (initial cycle plus this fallow period). I only lost the wrasse I mentioned earlier, and that was because he did his Braveheart impersonation. It's oddly rewarding to be able to go thru this process and have fish survive. At the same time, I'd prefer not to go thru this process at all.

Also, I feel like the DT has suffered a bit from the lack of fish. I don't completely understand the symbiotic nature, but it's my understanding that it does exist. Most of my coral seem fine, tho my one zoa colony have suffered.

You've done well. It's a pain in the rear but its' worth it in the end.

You can counteract some of these issues of a fallow tank by feeding the corals a couple times a week and/or not running the skimmer.

Thx!

Been doing the feedings, not just for the coral but every few days some pellets and such for the inverts. I'm skimmerless, so that's not an issue either.

It's just the zoa colony. And perhaps that is unrelated. I tested water yesterday. everything was normal. No3 at 2ppm, salinity at 1.026, alk at 8.4, Ca at 435, phos at ~0. I don't believe the latter. Because I have more algae lately than normal. I have a Hanna checker on being delivered Wed.

Not really sure what's going on with the zoa colony.
