I'm moving my tale of woe to this thread so I don't mess up Lance's

At some point the sump room started reeking of coral sex (kind of distinctive once you've smelled it once) and the skimmer shut down for 2 days.Unfortunately I wasn't in a position to do any water changes.
A few acros are losing tissue, the monti caps are bleaching and looking decidedly unhappy and the digis are losing their growing tips.
I bought a bucket of salt from Bob today ($80  ) and I will start water changes as soon as the paintings done tomorrow night/wed |

I don't think it was the drywalling because it started when we were still tearing out the carpet and wood paneling.
I suspect it was the whole thing combined with the change in light cycle, a/some corals going sexual, the heat, and dust going in the tank.
My Plan of attack right now is to get everything back on a normal schedule and doing 3 or 4 large water changes
