Maybe some neglect, like what happens in the summer months, is actually better for our tanks once they are established

That's what I be thinkin, but the water at this time of year could definitely play a role. I also wonder what makes it by the RO/DI when the TDS meter reads 0.

I've never had an established coral up and die on me. If they make the first two weeks, they seem to be bullet proof. Even with SPS at the different times I have kept them. I've had corals brown out or bleach, but never die, and I've never linked it to any particular time of year.
