I have heard many times that to be successful in this hobby we need first of all to be able to keep water. Sounds simple, doesn't it?

Here's a more detailed analysis of the results and how I decided not to dose anything else beyond the Kalkwasser with vinegar. I was considering using the Red Sea Colors program.
Part A of the program includes: I2 | Br2 | F2
The ICP indicates that the Iodine is low, but not depleted. On the other hand Br is slightly elevated. It doesn't test Fluoride.
I conclude that there's no need for this part of the program.
Part B includes Potassium and Boron.
The ICP test reported K within normal range and Boron almost within normal range.
Part C includes iron, manganese, cobalt, copper, aluminum, zinc, chrome and nickel.
The ICP test reported most of these elements either very low or below detectable levels.
Part D of the program includes a blend of 18 elements that according to the ICP test are mostly within normal values.
Given these results I decided not to dose anything more beyond the Kalkwasser/vinegar.
I will probably do another test next year.

I am trying to get rid of some corals and it's difficult to find new homes for them, even for free.
2 varieties of GSP, xenias, kenya tree and a sarcophyton.
Even a fish store would not accept them.
I am visiting my parents and my mother wants me to have this, it belonged to my grandfather.
No... just no.
In the meantime I thought it would be useful to share an educational song I found about anemones.

Sorry for your loss. It does not get easier. In fact, as one feels more confident and has a better understanding of their livestock over time it probably gets harder.
I have had a reoccurring fish nightmare throughout my lifetime. Reef-mare perhaps. In it I come upon a room that has all of the pets I have ever kept. Except they are all still alive since from when I had them. Absurd in several cases, but there are all the fish tanks near empty from evaporation, a ferret, boa, other reptiles all hungry. A terrible dream really.

Death of an animal at my care messes me up more than it used to. It was never easy, but it's worse now.
Maybe it has to do with the opportunity I had of seeing them in their natural habitat.
I am thinking more and more about upgrading the tank so that the fish have a better life.
That dream of yours would make me feel weird at least for a whole day.
