I just want to chime in here with a few comments and questions about doing this. I read through the whole thread but just want to make sure I understand everything.
First, I need fluke tabs so if any have them HMU. I found on
http://www.marineandkoi.com/ but I am guessing when I click order the item will be out of stock. So, that leaves me mebendazole treatment which sounds like it works similarly.
First, is the treatment any different when dipping rocks in water outside of the tank and have others reported back with success doing it this way.
If rocks are soaked outside of the tank off, are my inverts/crabs/shrimp/snails/feather dusters still at risk when putting back rock in the tank. If yes, if rocks are rinsed does that change anything. I also have a clove frag of long stemmed brightly colored ones, how long before they can be put back in the tank.. or is that yet to be determined?
Has anyone treated with mini-maxi anemones?
If I should still remove said critters, how long post treatment until they can be returned.
If dosing rocks externally, is shutting off skimmer and carbon still required. Additionally are as large of WC still needed post treatment. I understand N/P will go up so exporting is still important but if the goal of WC is to remove the product as well is this lessened by doing this remotely.
I have a nano cube that is basically empty I could treat in, treat a few few rocks at a time and place in sump after treatment.
A bit scatter brained with questions, but its better to ask than make big mistakes.
