Hmmm...My tank hits 82 on occasion and other then an unhappy leather coral when that happens I don't have any other issues. I would check your water parameters to make sure there wasn't something else going on. Unless you keep your tank very cool and it spiked to 82 quickly I don't think that was the cause.
Ok quick question I have thought and been looking at this. I want to know if I can change my Sump Setup around. I want to put the Macro and LR in the first capartment where the Tank drains into. Then put them skimmer in the middle and return in the last. The first section now is really small for the sump and the drain hose. It really is alot going on and salt creeps alot because of this. So hoping I could mabey make the first section catch the drainage so it would have more time to get rid of some of the bubbles with LR Rubbles and Macro
here is a pic of the way it is setup now

It will work fine. Most people have their skimmer in the first section but if you are having issues with that then change it.

I have my sump setup with chaeto in the first section (where the tank drains into) then the heater, a small pump (for the phosphate reactor) and skimmer in the middle section and the return pump in the last section. I also have a phosphate reactor that dumps into the middle section.

I havent posted in a long time so I thought I would give an update. Well this first thing I know everyone is going to say where are the pictures LOL. I will get those on later : ). I finally got the hair algea under control or atleast it seems to be almost all gone now. In the end I just gave up on trying to get rid of it and kept up with my daily stuff. RO Water changes every 2 weeks and feeding every other day. I think it was just needing time and time is what I gave it to work it self out. LOL. Still have my one clownfish and 6 crabs and 10 snails. I have a bunch of little snails now I have noticed around. So now its on to buy a new fish come friday what will it be : ).
