Hospitals all have appropriate protocol to ensure it's use is appropriate. I think using IV vancomycin for fish tank is consider very inappropriate. In addition getting IV vancomycin cannot be easy. IMO it also have a wrong spectrum of activity for our need
Vancomycin is the wrong antibiotic for anemones. There are much more affective antibiotics that will work a lot better.
