Yes, there are much fewer corals in there than before. I wouldn't necessarily say that I had any issues. It is more of a feature of my tank. At the beginning of every summer, right as things are doing well, the tank likes to test my resolve. The tank systematically eliminates all the nice expensive corals that I've masterfully cared for up until then. It then sits back, has a good chuckle an waits to see what I'll do. If I still appear sane it will start to malfunction equipment like reactor pumps, heaters, fans, lights, etc. So you see, its all perfectly normal. Its kind of like a game I suppose..

Anyway, I came close to throwing in the towel as I had troubles keeping up with all of my tank's shenanigans. A nice layer of algae covered the glass and I let it sit like that all summer. I just topped up the ATO, auto feeder and cleaned skimmer (which by some miracle was still running).

Although the corals were mostly all wiped out all of my fish seemed to be doin well so I kept it as a FOWLR. Well, I finally decided I had enough and made some time to reclaim the tank.

Although I contemplated shutting it down I just couldn't bring myself to pulling that trigger. I would eventually miss it and probably end up pouring in more money to set up the exact same tank again. So, onward and upward! :-)

Well good to see you back! I hope to see the amazing tanks I have seen in the past soon!

Haha...I should try that! I bet when they can't move around they cause a lot less trouble. Plus they probably eat whatever you bring them if you leave them long enough. Brocolli here we come!

sorry, I missed your question about my iPhone. YES! I love it! My favourite feature is its 10" display, yet it still fits in both hands and my man-bag. As a result of the larger screen Apple was able to add not one more, not two more, but THREE MORE rows of icons. I know, mind blowing isn't it! They were also able to move the earphone jack to the SIDE of the iPhone. Crazy!! And there is no more docking port whatsoever and Siri as been augmented considerably with some (more) silicon implants. You can communicate with the iPhone by simply whistling to it. Also, shortly after Apple released the iPad mini they came out with an iPad nano. The iPad nano has a 4" display!! It will blow your mind, again! Apple is so awesome. They keep inventing all of these iDevices that we didn't even know we needed.
