Comments on: Troubled reef – 1st birthday of new tank http://grumpyreefer.net/2010/04/05/troubled-reef-%e2%80%93-1st-birthday-of-new-tank/ Opinionated and most of the time grumpy postings about reef aquariums Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:53:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Brian Blank http://grumpyreefer.net/2010/04/05/troubled-reef-%e2%80%93-1st-birthday-of-new-tank/comment-page-1/#comment-523 Brian Blank Mon, 19 Apr 2010 18:47:10 +0000 http://grumpyreefer.net/?p=943#comment-523 Hey Tatu. I hear you my friend. It seems like my "reefing" experience has been a roller coaster journey and if I add it all up, more of a negative than a positive. I too was extremely down on what I was doing and was looking at just getting simple corals and letting it go in whatever direction it decided. I was able to get rejuvenated when I attended a tradeshow last weekend and being able to be around great new products and bright people, helping bring that love back! A great chat with my pal Scott Fellman also helped turn my mental state around. While I am still looking at a tank with many, many, many problems that need to be addressed, I feel better about it and feel if I keep on track it will all turn out in the end. I pray to the reef gods that you find that right path again and get back to the LOVE and PASSION that brought us to the hobby in the first place! Brian Hey Tatu. I hear you my friend.

She says I am the grumpiest person in the world so this is the perfect place for me to be. In a strange way, the fact that you are having problems gives us mere mortals hope that one day we will achieve the reef tanks that we see on the internet all the time! I have a goniopora which I am determined to keep alive for a very long time. Keep posting it is great reading!!

I've gotten so much excellent up to date info from You via this site and reefcentral posts. Now running ATB cone and NP pellets. Nitrates are finally going down and corals are saying "Thanks, Grumpy" :) How about trying Acreichthys tomentosus for the Aiptasia problem? (I think Kimi had them in stock some week ago.)
