My reef definitely got cooked by overdosing bacteria in recent months, and it took me a while to figure out what was wrong (as you know if you read my blogs). I'm doing a soft reset rather than a hard reboot now. I'm not going to dose any additives for the next six weeks. I pulled the biopellets offline to stop any additional bacteria introductions, and I'm doing some big water changes to hopefully help the corals turn around.

I feel like anything I do will spook them, and I don't ...

One part of MACNA that I know everyone loves is getting freebies from the various vendors. I think it's in our inherent nature to acquire stuff that didn't cost a dime, hauling our score back to the hotel room and eventually home. Being a vendor myself, I'm aware of these expenditures through research of what I might be able to dole out myself to visitors of my booth. I can assure you it isn't cheap, from the point of ordering the product to getting it to the show, paying union workers to place ...

HOLY CRAPOLIE..........that is about all I can say. The new wrap and canopy are utterly amazing. It has really finished off the major work in insane fashion. I had already received lots of compliments and thank yous for all of the work that had previously been done on the inside, the difference between the old design and the new was fantastic and made a huge improvement but I wasn't happy, the change that was made wasn't enough, it didn't have the WOW factor that I wanted. A piece of the ...

Being sick is never fun, and knowing your reef isn't doing well only adds to your misery. I'm reclining per the doctor's orders and just watching tv, little energy to do anything else. But knowing some corals are declining is frustrating. (Knowing customers are waiting for their orders is even worse, but I need to be on my feet first to take care of those items...as soon as I feel stronger that is.)

I wrote an email to Prodibio to see if they had any direct suggestions to reboot ...
