Make sure you have good airflow through the tanks to keep them cooloer. I have no temp issues with my tanks and I use T5HO on them. They all have...
It could be your LED lighting is too intense for the coral of you have a good flow coming up from the bottom toward the coral.
Skimmer, heater and pumps. No need for light unless you have corals in there. Heater isn't necessarily needed until you have animals that need the...
Congrats Matt, great info on the predation.

Actinics have about 40% of the PAR of ATI's othr bulbs. This is also a softies tank and generally will not need as much PAR.
I would suggest at least one ati blue plus. If you want to use actinic for the rest it should be fine.
I am guessing you were not getting the right air to water ratio. I am sure these are calculated based on the pump/impeller/reaction chamber...
Cut back on your lighting maybe, 2 bulbs should be more than enough for your tank.
They might have zoa pox. I don't have a link to it but it is on coralpedia.
Not a good idea since evaporation varies and therefore an inconsistent amount of kalk would reach the system.

Thanks Chris, some of the new corals are struggling since my alk line plugged and alk plummeted. I have it back up running and need to figure out...

Thank you
Take a look at the claws of an Emerald crab, if the claws don't look like the tips of the Emerald then it is generally not reef safe.
Thanks Cheryl, white balance helps too.
