While this isn't always the happiest part of Reef2Reef, it's still important. Until fish arrive in our LFS and our tanks healthy, we sometimes need to take up the armament of knowledge against the parasites and diseases that come slipping in with our finned charges.
I think it’s more depressing when fish go untreated and die. This is the ugly side of things perhaps, but it’s what I’m most experienced with. Fish and fish disease is just about all I know a lot about!
I think this disease forum, the ladies & gentlemen that run this program, keep us from getting really depressed. I've learned as much or more from them and the threads here than any other forum on this website.
Depressing, sure, but knowledgeable to keep from becoming insane.
