Hurricane Bertha hits Michigan reef

Okay so maybe it wasn't Bertha, maybe it was Hurricane Henry! As some of you know I have been building a biotope of a reef flat. https://forums.saltwaterfish.com/t/305547/and-in-the-beginning I have gotten to the point where:
1. It takes some messing with on the scape to rearrange so that the coral grow out in the look of a flat.
2. It is rather boring as the movement within the tank is relegated to the fish which can only really swim over the rockwork to be seen.
Therefore I have re scaped the tank. I have gone for a canyon type look up the middle. Still primarily SPS coral with a zoo colony and a couple of photosynthetic Gorgs. (Maybe a Eupyllia is in the making down the road)
Fish are 2 bluegreen Chromis, 1 Talbot's Damsel, and 1 2.5" Foxface that is being rotated out when they get to 3-3.5" (for Caulerpa control)
During the power outage here a while back I lost my Geometric Pygmy Hawk and my Pom-Pom crab. Along with the assorted snails and hermits there is a Peppermint shrimp and an Emerald Crab (I think the Emerald is still there although I have not seen him in a while)
Pictures will be forthcoming. I hope you all like it as much as I do so far.

Just looking through your old pics.
You always did have a nice looking tank, no matter how many times you rescaped it.
