Anything you change in a reef tank should be gradual but when it comes to water changes they are typically in the 10% range so I would consider that pretty gradual already. I've switched brands...

When I switched to LEDs I pretty much wiped out all my SPS (STN). I think the switch into LEDs is stressful on corals no matter what, even if you start low and ramp up, but how the coral ultimately...

While friction losses are definitely increased with reduction in pipe size the amount is also dependent on flow rate. So to say one will experience a 40% reduction is not correct.

I'd like to open communication with the guy before involving police. The amount of money involved is so small just doesn't make sense why someone would take such a risk.
