The coral section which has the majority of the corals.. the other side just house my gig and some frags..\

Very nice!
Any tips for a beginner regarding photosynthetic/non-photosynthetic gorgonians or general care?

Yeah the gorg is a ripper. Its always in full blown. And even if i bug it while i scrap the glass and what not. It reopens in a couple minutes. Very hardy

All gorgs both photo and non photo need a very good amount of flow.. has to be indirect but.. direct strong flow will force them to close up. In terms of photo gorgs.. they're the easiest.. because they just need goood flow and lighting and satisfactory water quality..

Where as non-photo gorgs need the same as above despite the high lighting.. they need additional feedings to thrive. Youve gotta feed them every day to keep them 100%

Hence why i went with a silver gorg.. the other gorgs are just too much maintenance in a mixed reef..
