After fallowing

[Khanh]

Dear all,

After treating, my Sohal is recovered. Now I would like to fallow the display tank.

But after fallowing, we may add invertebrates, that bring water and risk of re-infection.

I’m thinking about putting invertebrates in quarantine tank with UV sterilizer in few days before bringing to DT tank.

What do you think about this?

Do you have any better ways?

Thanks
Khanh

The only way to 100% guarantee nothing will make it into the tank is to quarantine it for 76 days. @HotRocks has his 425 sps dominant tank running fallow right now and the timer reset after he added a cleanup crew. It's the only way to be absolutely sure.

Thanks for your reply. What do you think about UV sterilizer?

Might help, but likely wont get them all.

The UV sterilizer could suppress but not eliminate some parasites giving you a false sense of security.

Thanks all of you
