Hello all:
I am running a hospital tank for my fish using Humblefish's method for treatment of marine velvet with CP, and I am starting a fallow period for my display tank. Considering how many fish I lost with this velvet outbreak, I am a bit paranoid about cross contamination among my several marine tanks.
To sterilize nets and buckets, etc... the recommendation is a 5% bleach solution, rinsing, and then letting dry, correct? I know that I should also keep all tanks from the velvet tank at least 10 feet away.
I have seen other posts that suggest letting everything dry can also protect against cross contamination. Is letting things dry out enough, or should everything that possibly came in contact with the affected tank be bleached?
