    While it sucks, you have to take lines like "worst in recorded history" with a grain of salt, because our "recorded history" is a grain of sand compared to how long reefs have been around.

    As you look through history I assume you will find that there are similar occurrences such as this besides 00-01 but you never know. Read one report and global warming is going to cause long term effects on things beyond our imagination. Read other reports and this is a normal cycle that is mild compared to what happened in the early 1800's. In any case sad to hear about something that is dear to all of us in the reef hobby.
