That's just what I was going to say if PE is only after lights out.

My Coral Beauty tends to nip at my Brains if I don't keep him fed enough.

I have 4 angels and all 4 of them eat acros....I don't trust angels as far as I can spit

*edit*It was an overnight occurrence with my regal angel too. She lived with the corals for months before deciding to start snacking

Did you have decent PE with this tank previously?

Are you feeding your corals? I had fading PE extension problems as well, especially acros and milli's. Pursued ULNS to the nth degree and ended up starving my corals. Since greatly increasing my coral feeding PE is way better.

Some thing i did to increase PE is heavy skimming, run GFO and carbon. Also notice that phos xtra, coral snow, and other KZ products made a difference as well.
