Emily, I like/agree with your idea. I hate dumpin' in medications when it's unnecessary. The water in my quarantine is from the 60g (fishless) "beginner reef". Stable/aged... After further reading tonite, Im learning the life cycle is similar to that of Cryptocaryon and Amyloodinium. A few days on the fish, fall to the bottom, and WHAMMO !
back with a lethal vengence.
Feeding and activity right now is awesome. Fish acclimated and began feeding very quickly. Setting up the UV might be beneficial ? The bulb is old though and I'm not real keen on droppin' that kind of cash right now...
A freshwater bath sounds like another viable option. Breakdown/sterilize the "Q" tank and refill...damn, no more filter sponge inserts in my sump...
I've also read by Moe, formalin treatments ???
