Just went to the LFS to see if they could figure out what was wrong.

They spotted a serrated tail, said that spinal injury due to a ramming event is the most likely cause. Especially since I said he started swimming vertically two days ago.
It’s reassuring that they said I did nothing wrong. That it sounds like I’m doing everything right. However they don’t have a guarantee on their fish.
So, no discount on a future purchase or anything. Gonna go walk my dogs to try and clear my head. Still really upset about losing this guy.

Sorry for your loss, that's rough... Keep your head up knowing you did all you could for the guy.

What did the LFS mean by a "ramming event"? By what/who?

I’m really sorry that you lost your fish. If I’m not mistaken, a “ramming event” is when a fish runs into something head first. This happens a lot of times when a fish tries to jump out of a tank and huts the lid. The impact can damage their back, and eventually cause them to die.
On a more happy note, I enjoyed reading the thread am excited to follow along.

Going well! Minus the clown of course.

I got two clowns that had been hanging out (just the two of them) in the store for a couple of weeks. Snowflake clowns. They have bonded up now and one is clearly the female.

I would get something for them to host before getting a second one. Mine host a 4 head frogspawn.

Thank you! I'm trying to go as slow as possible, but I am impatient sometimes. :)
I definitely will get another clown. But I am not confident in getting any corals yet. I still need to buy Mg, PO4, and NO3 test kits (I was using dip strips as a temporary since purchasing all test kits at once is easily over $100). I also need to get a second powerhead my current one is 1600GPH for a 90g.
Since it is a cube I heard gyres are great but ive also seen pretty great reviews on the Nero 5 and the hygger is pretty affordable and has random wave settings.
Once I get my test kits and water flow in check, I will add corals.

Baby steps for success :)

plus the longer I wait the more coraline I get.

you don’t think that would make it less stable? Also, is it safe to weld inside a house?

As long as you’re cutting the legs at the top most point under the top or bottom right above the base it’ll be fine don’t cut in the middle unless you plan to reword another plate over the cut because the potential of the welds folding are slim but there is a potential.
