I know that you should have different equipment for your DT and QT, but I was wondering why.
Here is a scenario.
Let say I use a syphon hose on my QT tank, after I am done I put it in a holding area. Let say that it stays put for 1 week. It is completely dry for at least 5 full days. If that is the case what disease or parasites would be able to last for 5 days dry?
I would assume that parasites would die, I think germs/bacteria might be able to hang around for 5 days.
I like to know the why behind things instead of just going with the flow.
