to rid tank of MV it can take upto 3 months you can speed the process up a bit by raising the tempto 82 or 84 I forget. but it still taks between 8 and 10 weeks even with raising the temp. inverts are fine in the tank MV needs fish to host on.

So after 3 months how do you make sure it's gone? Do you keep doing water changes and regular maintenance while you wait? I read keeping the tank in total darkness will kill it. Total darkness will also kill my corals. What a sh*tty thing to deal with.

I had velvet go though my tanks and it is one of the worst things to see your fish die from, it really puts them through hell before killing them
 I never shut off the lights and I didn't raise the temp, just took all the fish out of the display and QT'd them in a seperate tank and treated them with cuppermine (or however you spell it  ). I kept the fish out of the display tank for 8 weeks before putting them back in.Here's a link to my marine velvet thread, there is a lot of good info in the links I added to that thread and there is also some very disturbing pic.'s of what the velvet did to my fish. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...t+horribleness
