Ok something hit me this afternoon while I was taking my shower. I realized that I've been keeping FW tanks for almost 18 years now and during those period, I've used many different medications and even home made ones for the fish. I can remember FW fish suffering from ick, velvet, parasites etc and boy, was the disease list endless.

However since starting marine almost a year now, I am glad to have never had the chance to use any medication on my fish. The only problem I have ever encountered was ick during my first couple of months but that was taken care of pretty quickly by the cleaner shrimp and garlic.

I now wonder is this due to better filteration system as compared to FW, experience or is marine fish actually stronger than FW.

Any opinion on this people?
