How close to the glass did it end up sitting? Two feet can put a plant right in the path of cold drafts at night or hot afternoon sun, and both of those can cause leaf drop that looks exactly like a light problem. South windows in Boise get pretty intense, so if the leaves were curling and going crispy at the edges, that sounds more like burn or temp shock than too much light in general. Did the leaves that dropped turn yellow first or did they just fall off green?

180 still leaves scratch marks if you press hard. Gotta let the paper cut, not you.

My buddy ran his for years with the hose routed under his arm instead of over the shoulder, swore it was fine until a DM showed him how fast it'd snag on his harness during a deploy. He was even more annoyed when he found out the manual had a whole page about routing and nobody had ever bothered to show him. Then he went back through his old dive logs and realized he'd been doing the same thing since his open water class. The kicker is his regular buddy had the same setup, so they'd both been validating each other's wrong way for a decade. Now he checks his gear against the manual every few months because clearly his memory of dive school is not to be trusted.
