I'm nearly done with the fallow period myself but am wondering if dipping (please tell me what kind) is effective also? It's been a long time to wait.
Thanks,

I'm not sure what is being asked. What are you wondering about dipping being effective for?I'm nearly done with the fallow period myself but am wondering if dipping (please tell me what kind) is effective also? It's been a long time to wait.

Why is this the case? It doesn't make sense. Are you referring to fish disease tomites or coral disease?Adding new corals to a coral only QT does not reset the clock on corals already in the system. Each coral runs its own 76 day clock. If you add fish to the system, that's a different story.

Referring to fish parasites. Tomites are free swimmers.Why is this the case? It doesn't make sense. Are you referring to fish disease tomites or coral disease?
So the hatched tomites from the tomonts cannot reencrust on anything else without a fish host first?Referring to fish parasites. Tomites are free swimmers.
There isn't anything you can do with encysted tomonts. This is why each individual frag has to have it's own 76 day fallow period. You have to let them expire on their own.
The QT process is for fish parasites. The time you are waiting is for any cysts to open and let out the free swimmers. Without a host, the swimmers die. The 76 days is for the longest (we think) cysts to openWhy is this the case? It doesn't make sense. Are you referring to fish disease tomites or coral disease?
Ok that's what I thought. I just didn't think you could do it with adding new ones, but it makes sense now that you say it.The QT process is for fish parasites. The time you are waiting is for any cysts to open and let out the free swimmers. Without a host, the swimmers die. The 76 days is for the longest (we think) cysts to open
All sorts of nasty things can come in on coral. Different harmful nudibranches, flat worms, red worms, sea spiders, and other pests. On top of those you have nuisance stuff that can come in like Bryopsis (algae), aiptasia, majano's, and vermitid snails.So what horrible coral diseases do I need to worry about?
