Alright, I got so depressed about Sasha dying that I haven't messed with the tank a whole lot other than to do regular maintenance. Only thing new in there is one head of a purple with green center blasto.
I dosed the prazipro and lost my gorgeous open brain(not sure if it's related but it seemed to be). The flatworms were unaffected. It's weird because the flatworms seem to be disappearing out of the ten gallon where they are thriving and getting fairly large in the cube. Wish I knew what they were eating....
I also started this thread about the lighting situation if you are interested...https://www.livingreefs.com/250w-mh-too-much-t44091.html
So here are the pics!
FTS
birdsnest that I thought I was going to lose and seems to be coming back :)
branching monti
rainbow monti (put down lower in the tank- it was losing it's rainbow)
monti cap seems pretty hardy
maze brain
colt leather, one of the corals that pulled me into the hobby years ago :)
zoa pics, the one dying is a chong bong... not sure why, one of the cube mysteries
and a nice shot of the duncan with moonlights on

Your tank looks good. head high dont feel bad about the chong bong. this month i've lost my fire & ice, valentine day massacre, and red hornets(these are the worse cause i popped 3 heads on it within the month i had them).

Hey, good to see you here again - I've missed you! I'm sorry Sasha's death hit so hard :( I think you did the best you could with her and for whatever reason she just didn't adjust well to aquarium life. Have you considered adding a new fish to get yourself back on the mend (and give your wrasse a friend)?

The awesomez update...
I have a few new friends in the cube, and I have a Kessil A350 on it's way. Should be here next week, and I am super stoked!! The new light will solve so many issues with this tank!! YAY!
I took your advice Fishy! I need another drag queen name for this new little cutie...
He ate well at the store and I am giving him Nutrimar Ova mixed with Rod's Food. How often should I feed him? Daily? Twice daily? I think he might be eating those little flatworms also! Bonus!
Rainbow Trach. I definitely wish I had a better camera for this one... justice is not being served here
This piece got thrown in to make the price of the brain a bit more palatable.. LOL! Anybody know what it is?
Blasto
What is this fuzzy white stuff that is growing on my powerheads and snail shells?
Also got a few emerald crabs since I am seeing some bubble algae.

Chichi get off the forums and hang that sucker up!
Seriously though I am curious about that light, what angle lens does it incorporate? It has such a, "spotlight" type of look to it (which isn't a bad thing!). Looks perfect for a cube tank.

I believe it is a 31 degree angle lens, Amba.
And here it is!
My parents checking out the tank :)
I wanted more room on the sand bed for my LPS so I moved the barnacle rock and pulled the new brain and chalice out of the cave. The tank looks like this now...
shrimp photobomb!
My monti cap is getting way more shade, but it's in the perfect spot. Will it be ok?
And the superman monti that i got from my reef club is dying from the center out. It still has minimal polyp extension on the parts that are almost white. Should I give it a chance to recover or will it dying foul my water at all??
