Empty as in no corals? Tank leaked back in March. Lost pretty much everything.
Empty as in no fish? Brooklynella outbreak wiped out most of them. The survivors are in a Hospital tank.

wow, as careful as you are but we can't prevent what will happen. Good things you come back for it. I feel like keeping reef is a second full time job for me. Too much work.

To avoid being banned due to an inactive Tank Jounal ...

The cali tort and the turaki I got from you have coloured up nicely and are growing well in my tank with the KNO3 additions. Thanks for some nice corals

Great to hear Glenn. Keep up the good fight!!

Not a tank update, but rather a tank keeper update ...
I'm currently suffering an upper back disc herniation. Last time this happened was 2009 and it laid me out for 4 months. Looks like I'll be having my wife help me with all lifting. I can't do anything above the belt without aggrivating the injury.

I've worked with a broken hand, broken finger, sprained ankle totally bruised on both sides and no ability to walk, sprained lower back, sciatic problems out the ying yang ...
But this is taking me out of the game.

For those of you who are unaware of this pain ...
It is a knife in the middle of your spine between your shoulder blades, and worsens when you try to keep your head erect.
The pain shoots down the right arm and renders it useless from shoulder to finger tips. Sometimes it's tingling, but mostly it's throbbing and on fire.

I was in emergency on a gurney on morphine before the pain was managed.
Then, as stated above, 4 months of pills and bedrest.

So, I'll be away from the PC for awhile as it hurts to use the desktop.
Later all ....

Hopefully it gets better quicker then last time.

I had a herniated disk in my lower back and spent many an hours in the emergency room not being able to move. Know exactly what you are experiencing. I have never had a knife in my back but I am guessing the pain is about the same. I had microdiscectomy on my lower back 4 years ago. Backs not perfect but the extreme pain is gone and I can somewhat function again.

Let me know if you need anything
