I hope you stay well.
Im fine. Its nothing new to me I think growing up with a disease is much easier than getting it at an older age after being healthy for years. It is devastating for people to "loose" their health. I have just always known that "any month now" things could go downhill...so I never really put things off too much if its something I really want to do. I had already hit every continent besides Antarctica by age 19 as that was something I wanted to do since I was a kid.

Hope you stay well too man. I find positive thinking goes a LONG way in keeping people strong.

When you hear testimonials like these, it puts everything else in perspective. And as I have been around for some period of time now, I know many similar people.

Thats what people I know tell me

Like I said, I don't know any different, so for me, if I want to do something I have to do it while my health is good. Its been soooo up and down over the years. During treatment, I can't do much at all. Thats actually how I got into fish. But times like now, when I feel good, I have to go all out!

Certainly does put your life in perspective--everytime I get through treatment and am told things are good, it really changes things. I am working with my father now to help pay for me to get over to Africa (Kenya) in 2010 to join a program building homes for kids with AIDS. There always seems to be someone who is in need more than you huh...

OK you proved me wrong. Ironic that the species that has outlived all the others is growing in the aquarium 10 feet away from me.

Eh...Im not scared of Cyano anymore...Coral snow works wonders

EDIT: Oooo...maybe Cyano will end mankind! It will adapt to live out of water and cover EVERYTHING...

We would need a LOT of coral snow to try to deal with that mess!

Well in combination with upping the dosage of ZEObak it does. I don't think it really would do much on its own...I know people have tried but I have heard it really doesn't work so well in a non ZEO system.

Zeozyme does, if you don't use the zeo system i'd use it instead of coral snow. Coral snow is sort of meant to be mixed with other products when dosed. Zeozyme is pricy though.
