My goal is to start re-populating the tank next week. Updates to come. Anyone have pics of a 30 Cube they want to share?


Few loses that I can see so far

2" strawberry shortcake
1" encrusted plug with lots of branches ready to take off Tricolor SPS
Tooth/Galaxea coral
2-3" double branch green slimmer
Green millipora frag
red/yellow favia frag
missing 4 poylps of red hornets! Only frag to just fall off the plug! My luck
Sunset monti frag
3 feather dusters
all snails
all shrimp (peppermint, coral banded)
emerald crab
multiple Zs & Ps still closed

Seems as if 1 arm of my banded starfish is falling off and the tips of his tenticles too.

Clownfish OK so far
