cleaning equipment with ich

[Toby_Kourtney]

I have a skimmer that I'm pulling from my tank with ich that needs to go into my qt tank. It's been running in a vinegar bath for 2 days now. What is the best way to ensure the ich doesn't make it to the qt on the skimmer?

Let the skimmer and pump dry out completely. You can also do a bleach and water bath, followed by letting it dry out

Thank you. I'll give it a bleach bath. Is a cap full of bleach good enough?

Some say 1 part bleach to 10 parts water. When I get dry rock I do a 1:3 ratio so anywhere in between will be good
