Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Well, going on 5 weeks without any answers I got a call. My test had for the lettuce parasite ( they said they tested in the hospital but sent out the wrong test)) came back positive. Picking up Bactria at the pharmacy on the way home. Not physically feeling better but mentally feeling better knowing what it is and there’s a treatment.
Oh my gosh I am so glad you finally got an answer!!!!
 
@kevgib67 what did you find out from the doctor?
It’s the parasite from the lettuce going around up here. Bacctrin will clear it up. I got it so bad because I’m immunocompromised.

it's a good thing that it didn't dry up your kidneys. that's a long time. Were they giving you IV fluids too?

Ya, I went into the hospital with severe dehydration and acute kidney failure a couple weeks ago. You didn’t notice because you were busy eating haggis.
