Dummy proof it, pleeese!

I was thinking that medicating for illnesses not seen doesn't make good practice. In human medicine, this is how antibiotic resistant bugs were created like MRSA. Over use of medications also makes bugs tolerant & resistant.

That might have worked years ago with fish but now they all seem to have something.

If I may, I would read up on how to do a freshwater dip, even if you don't pre-medicate.

Well I do a fresh water dip and keep my fish in QT for at least 3 to 4 weeks

I guess now I will have to re-think the no treatment till ill idea. More research. My brain hurts. Thanks for the help. I want to do it right.

Do you have an idea of what you want to add?

Some of the places I've ordered from are:

live aquaria - best overall selection (do not order anything in the maricultured section) pricing: moderate

blue zoo aquatics: small selection of coral but good pricing, very large fish selection, have ordered multiple from them and never lost one

Cherry corals: best selection of ACANs and zoas, pricing is higher end corals

WorldWideCorals: good selection, very high end corals so higher pricing

Why not in the maricultured ? What happened?

Why not in the maricultured ? What happened?

I've tried 3 different types of maricultured coral and all three melted in under a week. The plus side is Live Aquria has a 14 day guarantee so I was able to get credit for the coral but since then I have stayed away from all mariculture. The coral I bought was zoas, mushrooms, and a hammer.
