    not my tank because mine are bleaching in there :( . Maybe this is a clue though as to my problems recently. My parameters seem good and my fish and soft corals look great but my hard corals have been having bleaching problems. I don't have a chiller (or a good heater) I wonder if I'm having temp. problems? :( :(

    With all this coral bleaching it is our duty to take frags from all corals of all reefs and put them in our temperature controlled tanks that way we can repopulate the earths reefs when they all die and temp is back to normal.
    and the government should subsidize our efforts with really nice chillers!

    There is actually a theory that global warming will cause a change in ocean current patterns that will lead to another ice age. OK, so coastal flooding and coral bleaching are not a good thing. Stop and think about what glaciers extending as far south as St. Louis will do for you. That could ruin your whole day. I don't think we will be worrying about chillers then. Just go get some snow off your front porch in June and use that for cooling. That's if you have food to eat and fuel to heat with in the first place.

    If there are other people around, there is plenty of food, for me anyways.

    Sounds just like that what happens in the movie Day After Tomorrow, just at a slower pace.
