Besides whens the last time you've heard of ich killing a reef? .

Maybe in post #11 of this very thread, where I stated I lost 9 fish to Ick? Just saying.

Thanks for the flame but I didn't say it can't kill fish.

No you didn't say it directly but "Besides whens the last time you've heard of ich killing a reef?" pretty much infers that.

How does that infer it doesn't kill fish??!? You're deliberately mischaracterizing my post for some reason, that or you're reading comprehension skills are lacking.

I think when Ice says reef he means coral

Ich isn't the worst thing to encounter in this hobby.

You're right Ich isn't the worst thing we can encounter in this hobby but I would say it is the most common problem aside from algae and on most new reefers minds.

I've had an ich outbreak before from just adding fish to my DT, I let my tank go fallow for 72 days, could I have gone shorter? maybe. but I decided to err on the side of caution and go the longest the research has shown ich can survive

I now make sure to put every newcomer through TTM with prazi and, knock on wood, I haven't had an issue since.

Thanks for the flame but I didn't say it can't kill fish. I said ich isnt some super bug destroying entire reefs. Or to put it in your terms, the flu doesn't kill entire cities.

My point was everyone throws around this 72 day number and I truly wonder how many have seen the source documents. Ich isn't the worst thing to encounter in this hobby.

Sir or ma’am, the following statement implies that crypto is not dangerous.

Ive had ich outbreaks before and survived them without meds and no fish losses.

And yes as mentioned, influenza not properly managed can and has become a dangerous pandemic as well as other seemingly benign diseases that people have become complacent about.

When the title involves QT, the thread is destined to devolve to arguing, because seems no one can settle to just make a suggestion to maybe reconsider the plan to not QT. They have to vehemently argue the point to death.

Ironically, after 24 replies, only one has actually answered the question OP asked. Luckily it was the first response.

Not to mention $1000 worth of coral in a tank for a LFS is like nothing. I have seen many LFS with +$50000 coral in one tank. Saying something like "I have $1000 worth of coral" here is just weird and sounds amateur. An average reefer probably has more than $1000 worth of coral in their tanks.

I only have 500 worth of corals least that's what my wife thinks

Yes dear this coral cost me 25 bucks.
Yes that 5 head gold thing is pretty

Maybe that's how you took it, but it's not equivalent to an oil spill which is how everyone acts.
