Just another stupid thing on my part.
The day Moo died I had brought home a new eel that I purchased from another reefer. It ate shrimp apparently. I couldn't find anything online and in the end after getting him, got Doug to search RC, since it's unavailable to me. It is a fish eater, a major fish eater. Well, I guess I'll feed him some silversides and try and find him a new home.

To wrap up, a few more large water changes seem to have things under control. I would never believe this to have been a problem, as was suggested. However, I should say the water changes are 40-50g on a 230g tank. Not that major.
I believe it was a toxin. There was no ammonia or nitrite present in the tank.

Sorry to hear about Moo Deb that's just a shame
 It sounds like a combination of factors may have brought on Moo's death and not just one action.

Just to end this thread, the cukes were both found alive and well. Yesterday the red sea butterfly dropped dead on the spot. All of the other fish, etc are doing well and the tank looks better than it has in ages.
So I tested into the wee hours of the morning, tested everything under the sun. Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0-5 ph 8.1 Phosphate 2.5 So seeing the phosphate, I wondered wtf? Reducing phosphate can be done by water changes, which is what has been happening all along, plus I have been water changing out to a rock cycling tank almost every day for weeks. I tested the other tank. No phosphate. I tested the water change nsw, no phosphate. I tested all the foods I feed. Minimal with nori and mysis, the flake was bad. But I haven't changed feeding, probably cut way back on flake now anyway. The only thing I could think of next was to test the rest of the remaining rock curing. Phosphates were 2.5.
