Hadn't thought of that! ?
i made an investment 10 months ago or so , had some illness running through some of my stock… nothing has gotten sick since it’s been running - i try to provide best water i can for them…. there a trick to getting 20% off aqua ultraviolet - a member here steered me to them… i have 3 brands i use here from cheap to not so cheap…

it’s pricey in set up and electric -

my “brick” oscar says hello and

GL!

Patch's UV sterilizer arrives today. She's getting clean tank water daily. Once again her lump is receding (from the back to the front). She had an epsom/meth blue treatment two days ago. The thing almost looked like a big pimple wanting to burst after the bath. She's still acting pretty normal, although her feed was off for two days from water medication. For now I'm concentrating on the medicated feed and clean water. She's been relaxing near the heater (one of her favorite spots). Temps are at 82.3.

The vet is apparently swamped, I have extended waits for consult.
