I have had a 55gallon mixed reef running for about a year now. I have been bad and not done any QT... So far i have been lucky and not seen any signs of ich or any other diseases (knock on wood)
I now plan to QT anything going into my tank (i really didnt know in the beginning...)
My questions are this, if I havent seen any issues, can i assume i have dodged the bullet thus far and that my tank is currently clean of diseases/parasites?
I will soon be transferring the tank to a larger tank, would it make sense to QT the fish now? a lot of live rock, corals, inverts, water will be transferred to the new tank... from what i understand parasites need FISH to continue their lifecycle, so could i assume if i have the new tank set up and only transfer corals, rock, water and inverts and leave it like that for 6-8 weeks i would break any parasite lifecycles that may be happening without me knowing?
