Cleanup crew and Ich???

[DownwardDawg]

When you order a cleanup crew from Reef Cleaners, how do you avoid getting Ich from this?? I understand QT'ng corals. I've already set up a coral QT tank.

QT your cleanup crew in your coral QT for 3 days before placing them in your DT.

I would go longer than 3 days. I have heard qt cuc for 4 weeks.

Some think this is overkill but I QT everything for 10 weeks. Anything wet can get ich and pass it on. If you already have a coral QT set up, I'd add the CUC to that tank and start the clock again at 10 weeks.

Assume that water they come with contains ich.

Isolate for 4 weeks to allow ich to die off naturally.
