Thanks for the quick replies

Craigdillman – The Toadstool was my first coral and was very full and healthy since introduced 4 months ago. The flowerpot was QT’ed for 4 weeks and was extended for about two weeks before slowly declining. The torch was also QT’ed for 4 weeks and introduced to the DT about two weeks, again it was good in QT and the display tank and has declined in the last few days. I'm not supplementing with any coral food, WC are 20% every 3-4 weeks with IO Reef Crystals. Does 20% every two weeks sound better? I originally thought with my parameters in line, I would be able to do them every 4 weeks.

brotherd – no change in lighting other than replacing 1 of the 2 Compact Fluorescents about 5 weeks ago. I changed both bulbs one at a time over 2 months. The lights are on for about 14 hours each day, 7:30 AM – 9:30PM. Is that too long?
