Aside from water changes, heat 88F and salt, would anyone treat empirically with antibiotics. Mind you my display is 150 gal and I have a 40 sump…
Thanks all, ugh, never have had this happen. I recall perusing the forum at one point and all says he uses gloves and washes his hands and arms thoroughly. I should have done the same!
