B12 and Cortisone? Are you making Andy Pettitte jokes, or is this for real. I did a quick search as I had never heard of it. If you are joking, I'd hate a Noob reading and dosing crushed up B12 tablets....
If it is for real, what benefits/dosing/etc?

It was a total joke... I've heard of folks using HGH in reef tanks (seriously), though, so I was playing on the whole steroids/baseball circus. I don't dose anything fancy to the tank (just calcium and alkalinity).
I agree that I wouldnt want anyone to take that literally and give it a whirl, but anyone dumb enough to hear something in passing and decide to haphazardly dump odd chemicals into a tank probably has it coming.

unfortunately, many of the sweetest reef tanks in the world use HGH. Its illegal in the states though. Good thing for me...as the stuff isnt cheap. lol

Like I would waste perfectly good HGH on corals....I could be a .400 hitter and a gold glover and have Fly Guy on staff to take care of my tanks....
