Biocube !4

Hello all,
Due to school starting I have not had as much time to post an update regarding my Biocube. Despite the end of summer I have continued to make progress on the tank and FINALLY I'm posting an update. Also please excuse the horrible pictures, I don't have much tank photography experience.
First, my Diatoms came my cycle went and my Diatoms then slowly but surely died off. After my water parameters were in check I added a small frag of bight green zoas.

They have not been the most successful but seem to be fairing quit well.
Shortly after I added a small blue green Chromis, this guy is around an inch long. He is absolutely awesome, super friendly, a great eater, and seems to be very content with his current environment.

After adding this fella, I added a Red Mushroom frag with only one mushroom atop it within two weeks after adding it it split to become 3 mushrooms. I am very pleased with this. I then added another small colony of watermelon zoas, these are the newest addition to the tank.

Being a fairly new tank I am still having occasional green algae outbreaks, but these are manageable in size.
I am doing weekly water changes of 2 to 3 gallons just for good measure.
My current parameters are
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrite 0ppm
Nitrate 1ppm
77F
Calcium 380 - 400
PH 8.1
Happy Sunday!

Oh my godness, just walked by my tank to find my Blue Green Chromis has passed. I am completely dumbfounded by this event, the Chromis was swiming well eating like crazy and all water params. are great, then 20 mins. later he has passed. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I would like to resolve this if possible and dont know of anything that may have caused this. PLEASE HELP!!!
