@Oxylebius , I’m responding to your post on Comprehensive Marine Quarantine here because it really seemed to warrant its own thread.

One of the newer methods out there. I haven't tried it, but seems logical based on the life cycle of Cryptocaryon irritans[/QUOTE]
This method is very interesting. I like it a lot!
It’s actually not that different than how I did tank transfer, which I modified some from the standard process—particularly the part about having 5 tanks rather than 2.
I get why they are combining hypo with TTM (to treat flukes at the same time), but I’m not sure how I feel about that. One of the advantages of TTM is you can use other medicines along with it. I’m not sure if having it be a hypo environment changes that, but maybe it doesn’t matter because the hypo is taking care of what you might medicating for.
But, I’m 100% sure they know better than me.
It also seems to be more about if one is really regularly bringing in a lot of fish as it assumes you keep 5 tanks set up more or less forever.
It seems like a really great process, though. Covers a lot of ground!
