Thanks. I will do that.

But for now, I've setup a Frag Zoa Hospital & Spa IN MY SUMP. (with spare parts)


- Kludged together a Frag Tray with Fence in my Sump.
-------> Fence is to protect them from a Pencil Urchin in Sump who loves any spec of Coraline (Stove a few plugs last time) .
-------> Get's light from other SPS Tank next to sump.
-------> Added a hacked together 5050 Led strip for some gentle lighting (Can run as long as I want to acclimatize Custom).
-------> Great place for Zoa recovery and place to feed them easily to fatten up before returning to tank.
-------> Even added a tiny bit of extra circulation running off skimmer output.

- This will eliminate any Coral Toxen concerns since same system.
- Already seeing signs of improvement.

So it was most likely over lighting.

Man that Kesil is strong even at 40%. Doesn't turn on till 13%. Must be the UV leds.
