End of story?

Early onset Alzheimers!

Thank you

I'm sorry for your loss Camden

Nitrate was 53.6, phosphate is constant at .12 for 3 weeks.
I think my ratio is finally where I want it, green out competing brown, coraline good.
Nitrate is a bit high, would like it about 35.
Dosing a little vodka for a bit too.

Dose some in the tank as well Joel!

Even at almost 3 times your age, I still can't figure those things out. It has taught me to appreciate the times and the people I'm with. I hope you find some understanding through the love of your family and friends. And as always, the Smorgasbord is here for you.

Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst. It has an extremely low "cure" rate. Unfortunately, it is almost a guaranteed death sentence. In 20 years of being a nurse, 17 of those in the ICU and flight nurse, I have seen two survive it... countless others who did not.

Not to go all political but I think politics and the healthcare system kick backs probably plays a big part in cures/treatments for a lot of illnesses. That and laziness.

You are correct sir. They more than likely have a cure for cancer, they can 'cure' most other diseases. However, the pharmaceutical companies would lose a lot of money. So... until something changes, which it won't since money, power and greed control this country and world...it will continue as it is. Big Pharma has more control over the U.S. and the government than people realize.

I don't think you need 2 Camden.
Besides the remora is a better skimmer anyways.
Make sure you donate and thank @FUNGI for the very nice thing he has done.

You see I'd think that, however ive been told the Remora is ineffective compared to the Icecap and Reef Octo. Unsure why

Its usually about money. Wouldn't be suprised if some treatments aren't being held back by companies due to its price. Also because Immuno is the new treatment most insurances don't cover it.

That's disturbing. I did watch the cancer go metastatic really quickly, it makes sense.

I think nutritional. Bloodworms are midge fly larvae, and white worms are worms. Blood worms are touted as sort of potato chips for fish. I have no idea why. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And there's my post of the day!

The nutritional value of the white worm can't be beat, from my research. Corals devour them, crabs will eat them, and fish will go insane gor them. They will live in your tank for days if they do not get eaten right away. Also, as opposed to bloodworms, you grow white worms in soil. It’s very easy.

Ya, I remember when Michael Landon was diagnosed ( Little House on the Prairie) he vowed to be the first one to beat it, unfortunately he did not. We lost my wife’s brother to it about 16 years ago.

Almost a brine shrimp vs mysis comparison. That's an excellent point. White worms aren't larvae, and you can somewhat gut load them with anything you want to introduce to yout tank's environment

Happy taco Tuesday everyone!
