    Honestly I am not sure. Just talked to Hunter and the prognosis seems grim. Perhaps it was an infection during the decompression process in collection. This seems most likely as I checked my purchase date, and the development of infection seems to time it just about right. Hard to say though, I am just gonna watch and see what happens.:(

    Thanks! I hope so too!



    Unfortunately not much I can do. Water quality is about it.
