Restarting a 40 pillar reef.

Well a small update. I had a crash(my fault) and lost most of the sps(mostly the nicer ones). All the LPS, Zoa's, Softies and Nems did fine. Had to do a lights out for 2 weeks to kill off all the cyno, dyno, and HA. Surprizingly everything did fine, Nems bleached out a little and the RBTA moved to the very top of the tank before it stopped moving again.
Another thing is I only have one maybe 2(only see one)fish left. If I don't add any other fish will this be okay. Don't know how many people go with no/minimal fish in a reef tank. So far all the corals seem fine as I still feed the tank. Could I just add more inverts to fill the fish void or should I get another little fish or two?

Looking good!
Just a little rant at how annoyed I am.
I'm sitting there looking at the tank and trying to figure out why some of the corals don't look right. Come to find out something small got stuck in the skimmer plumbing so it hasn't been working for what I'm guessing is a couple of days. Just so annoyed how if one thing goes wrong it can be a catastrophe. Hopefully everything bounces back. I'll just have to double down on the WC this next week to pull out the extra nutrients in the tank since the skimmer was down.
Taking an Excedrin.

I hope its not anything more. Nothing else has changed outside of adding a frag but that went through the whole dipping process and everything. Also the water volume is not high in the tank. Its about 60lbs of LR and a inch or two of sand.
Well its a WC day so I'll just Super Size it just to be safe.
Bummer!! When it rains it pours!!

That's how it seems anymore.
I got the picture in a round about way.
