That setup didn't work out well. The better way to make is actually to drill a drain and a return for each section but I didn't want to do it.

So the clown pair is actually in QT. They've gotten Crypto (Ich) from a small Cherub angel that wasn't QT'd because it was in a coral "reef" section of a fish store rather than the main fish system.
They had started with hyposalinity which they did not tolerate well enough to keep it going. So I raised the salinity and added copper (2ppm). They're eating now but the white spots on them have gotten worse. I'm hoping the copper kicks in soon unless this specific strain of ich has developed resistance to copper somehow. In that case I might have to lower salinity again which before stressed them out to the point of not eating. TBD.
Finally the main system has been upgraded to 40B with a 20L sump mainly for coral. While almost everything did well in the Lagoon 25 tank there literally was no room for more growth for my leathers and Euphyllias.
