About Yourself:
I've been in the hobby for almost 15 years now. I got into the business about 7 years ago cleaning fish tanks for a local fish store while going to school to get my marine biology degree. After I got out of school, I became the Marine Curator of the World Aquarium in St. Louis, Where I only stayed for 1 year before opening up my own aquarium maintenance business called Pristine Aquatics.

Every passionate aquarist eventually faces a moment of crisis when a prized fish exhibits symptoms of illness, whether it is a stubborn case of Ich, frayed fins, or unexplained lethargy.
Few experiences in the aquarium hobby are as heart-stopping as looking into your tank during feeding time, counting fins, and realizing one of your favorite fish is missing, only to discover it squeezed into a perilous gap behind the filter or wedge-pinned behind a heavy resin castle.
For decades, freshwater aquarium salt has been hailed as a staple remedy in the fishkeeping community, often passed down from experienced hobbyists as a universal cure-all for sick, stressed, or newly acquired fish.
