OCDP,
The thing is no one said the hobby was ever easy and its always warned saltwater is expensive, no doubt about that. Remebering most of all these critters we buy are wild caught. So alot of careful planning & reading must go in ever species before deciding to aquire it, keeping it alive, healthy and happy.
Parasites are noted to be the common reason why so many people get out of the hobby. All of us from one time or another will experiance this stress and it it a big stress no doubt. But one thing you should know for sure...your not alone.... *HUGS* And I will tell you why....
You have this fabulous reef community that is filled with amazing people here that are always willing to dish out their experiances, to lend a hand by helping lend a fellow reefer tank supplies (10gal, thier refractometer or copper & a 50w heater & mini aquaclear filter with thier own established sponges) or reefers that will even offer to treat your sick fish for you, like Bob was kind enough to do.
But long term the investment for getting some used QT supplies is well worth it.
Chin up OCDP! *HUGS*
