not to sound critical or to offend you in any way, but I think in the future you may want to think about diversifying your color selection. And while I do like the concept of the color palette that you have, if there is to much of it and nothing else, all of the corals begin to blend together and with the rock and you won't have any dimension to the tank. Think about adding something that is a bright neon color but that still works with your color palette. A pretty neon green ric or some bright zoos would really go along way.
Again, I am not trying to downplay all the work you have done or to say that your tank is not aesthetically pleasing, but the addition of more brightly colored corals in colors other than the pink-purple-blue scheme can really help to take your cube to the next level.

agreed on the color thing. IT LOOKS GREAT SO FAR THOUGH. Some Yellow Sun Polyps would be hot, or Some blue/red Blastos. For real looks awesome though

thanks everyone. i was thinkin the same thing about the color scheme. though i love the purple, pinks, and light blues, i was thinkin some more greens and maybe oranges. i saw a really small piece of neon green torch coral at my LFS. i might scope it out, its a lil pricy. any other tips of come corals to add?....by the way, you can really tell cuz of the flash but my harry mushroom is a real bright green at the tips. anyways thanks again guys

Looks really good. Funny thing is..you know that live rock that you have on the left hand side before you had corals...thats exactly what my live rock looks (shape wise and size) and thats exactly where I have it in my nano tank.
