Thanks for the advice but you cant get more control over lights than the illumina. I have a sunrise and sunset with moon over night so I know that wasnt the issue. I guess we will never really know what makes them do it!

Oh that’s so cool….always wanted one…..

I just remembered that some of them have any issue with ALK change….did you add any buffer of any additive prior to the suicide?
