I just realized all the Closed Captioning I did in the editor wasn't visible. Those have been uploaded to KZbin. Turn them on so you can read what she's saying in those difficult areas. xoxo, melev

Can’t wait for your next upload!

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Hope u doing ok Mr Melev ❤️🐶

[@Reefkpr1]

Wow this is some next level care. Super impressed you took the time and spent the money to have Spock examined. Very interesting to watch. Thanks for sharing!

[@kevinriley771]

Just came across this.. Truly amazing what they can do these days. Thanks for sharing and glad Spock had no major issues..

[@aquaticanjaponica4628]

What a treat to see! Thanks showing us this and keep up the great work!

[@aquapuncture]

I finally got around to watching this one today. I can hear your concern for Spock in your voice, during the whole exam. 🥰 15 years is a long time (16?). Spock has been with you through A LOT! This was interesting and glad to finally see it. 👍

[@PokePackFire]

We need more awesome fish doctors!

[@caewalker9276]

Amazing to hear Spock talk.

[@g-reef]

This is So fascinating

[@ThomasBReef]

What a great watch! Thanks for sharing this adventure with us, Mark!

[@lisadimercurio9473]

Awesome video. So glad Spock’s eyes 👀 are okay. You are An awesome dad and I’m sure Spock thanks you. We recently spent $580 on our Weimaraner and although she had a reaction to the pain med so the vet to do X-rays on Sadie’s knees and back she is a healthy 12 yr old.

I’ve been following you for awhile and always enjoy your advice and insight about reefing. After seeing this video you’ve proven what an amazing and compassionate person you are. Thank you so much for your dedication to Spock’s health and for showing other reefers that veterinary care for fish is a very real option and should be pursued when there are problems that persist. If someone reading doesn’t have a veterinarian who specializes in fish nearby, many veterinarians can assist remotely or collaborate with a veterinarian in the local area. I work at a veterinary hospital that does a lot of exotics and they sometimes reach out to colleagues with different specialties to get the best answers for a particular species. I have a yellow tang that almost died from an infection that went septic & thanks to my vet he is alive and doing great. Don’t listen to the people who gloat about saving their money, etc...you did the right thing. I can’t say thank you enough for sharing this video.

[@RogueAquariums]

Spock is and has received the best care possible. The vet did a great job in handling her with care. Hopefully the water changes along with the parameters being stable as they are will help her eyes.

[@nes_tolgic9680]

Made me so anxious watching this I can only imagine what you were going through...awesome insight 👍🏻

[@mirror1766]

Glad to see you care enough for the fish to call in an expert and that there are experts around, even if few and far between. I could help dig the audio out further from the noise, or at least expand/correct the current subtitles if preferred though the general message comes across about the same anyways. I like you edited videos a lot more than the typical livestream, though the much larger quantity of content is a definite plus to them and yes they are good too.

[@heycesa]

So cool watching the Vet work Spock did great and is such a beauty thanks for capturing this visit it was fascinating to watch. Be will Spock

[@DoAqua]

Very cool! Thank you for sharing

[@garrycole9187]

Wow, super interesting. You go above and beyond for your pets or family. :)

[@mormsbie2227]

This was so awesome to see. Love Spock, hope she's doing well.

[@douglasrodezno339]

Thank you, you made see my fishes whole different way. Great video

[@scottiej1294]

Such a great video! I have never seen a fish vet visit before.

[@camdenfolsom6696]

Anyone else little worried that the vet didn’t think about the possibility of the fish suffocating in the trap over night?

[@VvBebovV]

Not as bad as I thought price wise. What I’ll have to look into doing moving forward with my fish.

[@Reefahholic]

Great video Mark 👍🏼😉

[@williamgauthier9294]

This was very interesting. Fantastic video.

[@jessicaj.7867]

Yes! I’m so excited for this video!! 🎉🎉

[@codycarr4368]

Great video! I do a question. What are the pros of keeping the water temperature at 75? Everyone had a different opinion on that and I was thinking about lowering mine down over time.

[@PokePackFire]

that refugium is awesome.

[@Reefscom]

Awesome stuff!

[@MW-ut3dk]

That’s really fascinating... I’ve always wondered if there’s a vet who specializes in fish willing to consult in person.👩🏼‍⚕️. The uv light is commonly referred to as a blacklight. Medical docs use it with fluorescein, a chemical that helps illuminate damaged tissue under uv light.

[@g-reef]

So awesome

[@karimitaa]

Wow!! How much she charged for the visit???

[@Joshthereefer]

Great video Marc. I have to agree with the vet, you should wear gloves when working on your tanks. I actually got a M. marinum (fish TB) bacterial infection from not wearing gloves while working at my LFS part time.

[@ikanMarine]

very interesting video... 🤗

[@jahsreef8386]

Man almost gave me a heart attack I couldn’t imagine what it was like for you. I kno how much you care about Spock it had to be tough. I’m also surprised at the price I thought it would be more. Hope your doing alright Marc and hope to see ya at an event soon....take care, go frag yourself shirt guy lol

[@josemarrodrigues2417]

Muito lindo esse aquario

[@Blackbookproduct10ns]

Did you ever have that 6 month follow up?

[@melevsreef]

No, Covid happened.

[@Blackbookproduct10ns]

@@melevsreef right. Duh LOL

[@flippersreef]

So what is your N03 at?

[@melevsreef]

At the time 80. Last week 10.

[@chrismain91]

Awesome!

[@whsm89]

Cool video

[@captivebredcanada]

Interesting but unfortunately inconclusive. I had an Achilles tang a few years ago and he developed almost what looked like ich inside his eye. I never figured out what it was but he wasted away slowly before passing away.

[@melevsreef]

That's so sad. What I was hoping for was a fish eye doctor that would open the lens, clean out the white and put it back down. I dream big!

[@BC-fy1wn]

After hearing how much Spocks checkup was I dont feel so uncomfortable about spending at least a 100$ curing one perculas worm infestation,it was my first fish surgery,the first of many.That is 100$ in middle 1960s.And got my meds at a discount from Scripps in Calif.,where I lived at that time.Stay well and be kind to one another,peace out, Doc BC

[@nosumpreefing8287]

Is this a recent video? Where’s the beard my man?

[@melevsreef]

No, it’s not recent. This was about a year ago.

[@nosumpreefing8287]

There’s a funny State episode about that. Anyways, I miss your videos and hope you are doing okay.

[@melevsreef]

For now edited content is my weekly focus while I deal with loss.

[@eillyacostandinides3344]

I was todays old when i realized. That a fish vet even exists.

[@Incrediblez420]

Guy in Club Melevsreef: There No such thing as a fish vet... My Response: Yes there is, marc had a vet see spock a year ago Marc mentioned that she was expensive. Marc 5 Days Later: Spock gets a visit from a Fish Veterinarian 4K! and se costed $400 for a few hours.. Me: I swear Marc Reads my mind...

[@bonesawarm6987]

My wife would think I’m mental if I was to talk and act like this over one of my fish......

[@melevsreef]

There is nothing wrong with caring about your fish.

[@matthewwagner4042]

Next time put the trap in the corner so it cannot be approached from the back.

[@melevsreef]

Got to put it where it fits. But you make a great point.

[@HubertDuck]

Quack

Second!

First!

[@tenbearsreeftank5705]

Are you shitting me All that for a fish that dosen't need any treatment

[@melevsreef]

😶

[@meekaboi]

He's paying for the thousands of hours of the vet's education and experience, along with the 3 hours of actual time spent examining Spock without harming her. Melev's fortunate that there aren't any serious underlying issues with the eye that would warrant amputation or some other corrective surgery, but be wouldn't know that unless he had Spock checked out. Of course he could have opted to leave it alone and hope for the best, as most would do, but if you want serious vet care, you're gonna pay for it. What a senseless comment.

[@tenbearsreeftank5705]

Your senseless I'm an expert in the hobby I medically treat my fish myself I don't need to pay a fish vet for no treatment

[@tenbearsreeftank5705]

Lmfao

@@melevsreef Who is this ten bears troll?? I just hope his pets never need a vet for care since ten bears knows everything....🙄

[@monsterg4603]

Looks like u got robbed of 400+ dollars. I could have told you all that. Wake up. She didn’t even offer any medication for 400+ dollars looool. What information other than the not so fancy equipment was worth 400 smackers? Please justify this? She took you for a saltwater ride 😂

[@melevsreef]

Okay

[@MW-ut3dk]

@@melevsreef Wow I really don’t know about some of the comments this video has gotten. Like you said Marc if it’s your family favorite pet wouldn’t you want to take care of him/her?
