Immune no but resistant or avoidance bugs learn. I walked into a restaurant to treat for roaches. After three services the population was growing. I switched roach bait and three months no more roaches.
Thats how my qt became a full blown fowlr tank.For the people who quarantine, why don't you just decorate your quarantine tanks and call that your DT.
The problem with Polyp lab medic isn't so much the principle as much as the dosing instructions are misleading. It will not eradicate a parasite if used as directed. If it is designed to reduce parasite levels while the fish builds its innate immunity than it could be effective.
I do. There is no reason to think that some of these corals won't eat parasites if they can filter them from the water. The more space they take up the less chance a parasite has to find a hard surface to land on without being consumed.
It is a peroxide salt and we know that hydrogen peroxide can be effective. I do believe it will eliminate some parasites while it is active. I don't think it will do any more than regular H2O2.
Always makes me laugh, glad to see you're still in the hobby!I only know people on these forums that have fish as everyone else I know already died, is in the process of dying or died and they don't know it yet. But on this forum there are at least two people who use variations of my method. Lasse and Atoll. I think SubSea also. I know 4 or 5 people on other forums that follow my theory. I have spoke at aquarium clubs 4 times to teach my method, which is so easy Nancy Pelosi could do it.
I just went on the disease thread and it is heartbreaking how many fish we are killing with kindness, thinking we are doing something good. 200 years ago we used to "bleed" people to cure them. Even George Washington was bled. That was top notch medical care in those days. Then someone came along who thought outside the box and said, "Like Duh" Most of these people are dying, maybe we should try something else like maybe keeping the blood in the people.
Galallio figured out that the Earth was not the center of the universe. After saying that they banned him from all these forums. He was Ex communicated and jailed. But he was right. Just because something is done by almost everyone, doesn't make it right. I have a reverse undergravel filter that 98.7 % of the people will say can't work in salt water, and yet my tank is the oldest one on here so how bad could it be?
I dump NSW into my tank every few months and I take it right near the shore along with mud, amphipods, crabs, flounders Godzilla larvae and most people tell me I am playing Russian Roulette, for 48 years so I must be very lucky. I have been waiting for a Supermodel to knock on my door to help with reef maintenance for all that time an so far all I get is people wanting to clean my gutters or reduce my credit card interest. so I can't be too lucky.
Quarantined fish are always living on the edge and the first parasite that gets in either on a coral, food, seaweed or water will catch whatever it is and those fish are almost impossible to cure as they have no immunity. If you were to cure those fish, whatever little immunity they originally had would be gone. It's a simple thing. Fish are already immune in the sea. Just feed them food with living bacteria in it and do nothing to remove or kill parasites. Either use live worms a couple of times a week, get clams that did not come from a commercial fish food manufacturer or use fresh fish. Or if you are in Idaho, add garden soil. Anything with living bacteria. Use no dry foods or freeze dried perish the thought. Thats the whole system.
It seems so simple to me that it must be wrong.
Remember the boy in the bubble? He probably died because he could not live in the world with the rest of us and always had to be quarantined.
Qt works, prove me wrong
I wish he would leave the hobby. He's hogging all the healthy fish and supermodels.
:mad:
No.
