That’s a cool idea. Yes that Eheim auto feeder is to quite.

Yea nice setup up for sure

Great information. Thank you!

scart shit bro

So glad I came across this video. This is great information. I just started a new saltwater aquarium and it’s just great to have this in the back of my mind just in case. 👍👍👍👍

Really good information. Thank you so much for sharing. I hope you heal soon.

Thank you for the info! Will share

Great information! I often dip my hands in my tanks for maintenance and often notice an unusual amount of dryness and discoloration of the nail beds. Working with many Hand Surgeons over the years have led me to believe the tank water was causing this. I’ve seen advanced cases of tenosynovitis and it’s nasty. Nowadays I use gloves worn up to my elbows.

Thats all i needed to get rid of my fish tank.. thanks

Wow. Looks amazing Good job 👏

I was blown away when I found out you could catch tuberculosis from fish, but I've only been in the hobby a year. Thanks for sharing this information, gonna help alot of folks.

It sounds like s dr. House episode! Glad you are ok now!

You should look into maxilla deformation on your daughter & get that corrected asap or she'll have lifelong complications. It's very likely diet & thumb-sucking related (I also had issues as a kid) & it's easier to deal with as a kid before the bones permanently set as an adult. Encourage eating food that's hard to chew like carrots, jerky, steak & whatnot so the kids will have a strong, healthy smile & no sinus issues.

Thank you for sharing

One of my coworkers got this. We clean the bottom of ships in the marina and he cut his hand on the bottom on one. We're usually under water most of the day.

Thank you for the heads up!

I have a fresh water tank. I always check for cuts or sores on my hands and arms before putting them in the water. If there’s anything, I will avoid touching the water. Then I sanitize my arms and hands really well before washing them very well. I want to avoid any weird diseases or infections.

That's CRAZY. Thank God ur ok.

Thank you ❤

Well if that’s not an inducement to stop picking at my cuticles, I don’t know what is. I’ve already had a trip through the orthopedic surgeons. Don’t fancy another one. 😫

Very cool to know about, thanks for the info. Glad your doing well. I'm surprised you had never mentioned to any doctor that you constantly have your hands in aquariums. Maybe a good thing for everyone else to know is mention they are in the hobby or professional when seeing doctors. Again, glad your doing well, that's a crazy surgery to go through. Reminds me of getting cellulitis, but worse!

Thank you!!!

Thank you for sharing! Glad that you figured this out! Had no idea fishkeeping was dangerous in this way!

I just recently got into the aquarium hobby, like less than a year ago. Your video came up randomly in my feed, I watched it, and thought, well, that's interesting, but it's super uncommon and definitely won't happen to me, since I'm always wearing gloves when I'm working with my tanks. A few weeks back I accidentally sliced my finger open. A few days later I have these red bumps crawling up my arm, then both arms. I think to myself, well, this seems familiar, but no way, can't be. So I go see a doctor. Apparently can be. Now I'm on Doxycycline. Thanks for making this video.

Nice feeding solution and tank. What is the gorgonian in the middle of the tank? Looks gorgeous.

I don't keep fish anymore but when I did, I had like 17 tanks in my basement. Each set of tanks had their own giant yellow dish gloves. Fuck dipping my raw hands in there.

Nice tank at least they found out what it was if you had been under the nhs you would probably have been dead now

Lovely tank what’s this small orange fish called?

I just posted a video of my new aquarium. What kind of fish should I add?

Thanks man

Said a lil prayer for you I'm sorry man I'm proud of you for educating people on the infection though id genuinely never heard of it. You've got this 💪

When I mess with live rock, sometimes I get like a rash on my forearm and it sounded like you said, little red bumps that eventually go away. Omg...I never knew this could happen.

Dude sorry to hear about this, that's too bad. Nice feather duster looking coral, that is sick !.

Thanks for the info and hope your recovery went well. I'm wondering if you can contract this from fresh water aquariums as well?

Microbacterial Minerium actually sounds good for the health. It could even be a smart drink.

OMG that hand looks like its a miracle you did not lose it. Or did you?

Prednisone and other steroids and lifesavers. My hearing was restored AND my nasal passage a few years later. They really do supercharge the body's immune/healing or whatever the hell it is. I am grateful as hell. If anybody reading this losing hearing one day..run for steroids.

Just something to note. You shouldn't say the dominant hand is infected, but rather 'the limb exposed to the environment/water/etc'. The only reason is simply that while it may seem like common sense what you meant by that, there are some people who will take you very literally, and so because they used their non-dominant hand that one time; won't think anything of it. I know, I know, pedantic. But seriously, this will be the difference for some ninny out there.

Does anybody have an autofeeder for mysis? I haven’t been away from home for a long time because I’m keeping seahorses and they have to be fed

Are you going to aquashella?

Whoa…glad you are on the mend.

This is so crazy for me to hear because I went through this too and I’ve never heard of anyone else getting it. I caught it early thankfully. It took about 8 different doctors over a couple months until I found a hand surgeon who asked the same thing. “Do you have fish tanks?” After that I went to an infectious disease doctor and then I got sliced open a little bit to get it tested. I went on the tuberculosis meds and some other one for about 6 months. I hadn’t had any losses recently before but I had gotten a mudskipper a couple months before the cyst things started showing up so I assume I got the infection from him. I just got off my antibiotics a few months ago. Yours seemed bigger than mine. I had about 15 small ones on my hand tendons and then 3 on my wrist and 3 big ones on my forearm tendons.

So u got infected by dead fish???

I wear long gloves

KZfaq algo is crazy. I don't GAF about aquariums

79 years old and considering restarting my aquarium hobby after a 15 year absence. This video has me reconsidering that choice,

I love corals ❤

Thanks for the heads up. I am a doctor and never heard of it before.

"If you feel I've earned it?" Yes , you've earned it . Please wear long water proof gloves and I pray you don't get any more weird rare infections from your aquarium. The aquarium looks good. Nice background.
