I need a double shot Americano made with black coffee instead of water this morning...

Long night last night. We went 29 days seizure free with the puppy. He had 4 more last night. We went to bed around 3 this morning.

I'm helping cook for our Men's Breakfast at church this morning so it's going to be a long day. :disappointed-face: If you all don't hear from me, I am alive but I may be crashed out.

Good vibes are with you Tim.
Sorry about the puppy.

Hang in there brother. Tonight you can catch up on sleep, hopefully. I hope you and your brothers have some good fellowship today.

I hope the little fellow turns the corner. Ask your vet about a prescription for Kepra. It controls seizures well. I’m on it and so was my Australian shepherd.

What did you do to get rid ...

Shortened my light schedule by 2 hours, removed chato from sump, and allowed nutrient levels to rise. Clean the sand, clean the sand, and clean the sand some more. Takes time to get rid of it

Just to be sure, do you have an acclimation box you could put them in for a couple weeks and see how they respond?

Favias looking worse today, I'm going to several lfs to corroborate some parameters, if it doesn't show anything different I don't know what it could be

I'm wondering if it's the high nutrients? Just a thought, but I've read high nutrients may eventually affect corals? And maybe the favias are most sensitive?
