It is my personal experience that coral death (by whatever mysterious cause) DOES spread. When one coral dies, there is an increased chance that NEARBY corals will then die.

Maybe you build your system so that it CAN be all connected...but can be also be isolated to run as separate systems in the event of quarantine or concern.

Absolutly! A few extra valves to shut down a tank, throw a power head and heater in and you can keep a disaster to a minimum. Better to be safe then sorry
