Hi reefers,

in an other thread @bboileau92 hinted me to the microbiome test from Aquabiomics which is able to detect pathogens in an aquarium. Now I wonder if there are other ways to know/detect if there are some "dormant" pathogens/parasites like ich, velvet, flukes etc. in a completely healthy looking reef tank?

If I'm not wrong I think it's also possible to add fresh water Mollys but not sure how bullet proof this is.

Are there other known methods?
