Ah thanks all a few issues actually
#Not enough light - resolved though will add an additional light structure in a week or two.
#Tank overheating 34.5 - Thailand is very hot currently, now running at 31 daytime (lights) 28 evening, could run mush lower but a problem occurs
#Salinity - the problem mentioned above, caused a mass un-noticed salinity rise to .30 now back around.25.
Currently looking at options for consistent temperature, however here its very hard and to be honest the coral on the beach in the bg sits there with no water at low tide, and roughly 40 degrees most days, so in the tank i am trying to be confident, but looking at ways to get around 26 all the time, chillers here are the cheap Chinese shite with the western pricing (550.00 - 750.00 sterling) need to find how the locals do for their seafood in the restaurants.... or take the plunge and hope it does not break... (no such thing as warranty)... as i learned with the Skimmer, Temperature Gauge, etc
I had a Aircon unit installed directly above but that caused salinity issues mentioned above...
Slownly but surely getting there but we are now appear to not be loosing the SPS.
Yellow goby disappears - guessing dead but no surprise he was direct from the Indonesian reefs and did not eat only about an inch...
Red Starfish was disintegrating when i left, but to be expected the salinity normalisation and temperature normalisation likely caused through me overlooking the two areas.
Will continue to change 5 litres a day because its on the back of the garden - any downsides to this you can think off would be great (only when no rain, if rain will ask my buddy to take from out at sea).
