Spark's 50 Gallon SPS Cube

I like :). If I could go back 8 years and buy a tank it would be a 50 cube :). I've down sized recently to a 50 cube and love it.
 
Been some time since I have posted on here. Since my last post I have moved the tank to a new home, lost 5 fish, lost a lot of corals pre-move do to not being around to make sure they were doing ok during the move, had my return pump die, and not been really paying all that much attention to the tank because well its been on auto pilot. Anyways here is an updated front take shot from last night. In the container on the upper right of the photo, I have a Bubble Tip from my office tank in there healing up as it was not doing so well.

BTW if anyone one knows how to kill Kenya Tree's on rocks that can not be removed I am all ears. I am tired off pulling them off the rock to just have more come up. I removed them all and killed them off the rocks during my last tank upgrade and they still come back.

Mix some putty. Roll into thin sheet. Apply to rock work. Doesn't have to stick well. Just enough to cover an area. Pry off a few weeks later. Do bits at a time.

2nd way: turn off all flow and apply thick kalk paste. ONLY do small areas at a time. Gently baste out any that go near other corals. After 15 mins turn flow back on slowly. Watch out for bits that may fly off and land on corals. Be ready with turkey bastor to intervene further.

I got rid of many "cool" corals this way in the past.
