Those who wish to duplicate Paul's Cryptocaryon management methodology;
Water was sourced for years from the cold New England ocean.
Live rock.
Ozone is used.
It is entirely possible that a Cryptocaryon predator/disease was introduced into the tank using natural seawater. Not sure why ozone has lost favor but using it would partially sterilize water entering the skimmer.
Good clean living does not explain why Cryptocaryon populations are kept in check. If the fish were truly immune Cryptocaryon would die out naturally.
The real issue is Amyloodinium. I'm skeptical there is a management methodology.
Parasites in a closed system tend to become unmanageable. Seems especially true of Eukaryotes.
Cryptocaryon and Amyloodinium (Adrain Lawler) dies out naturally regardless of immune status of fish through senescence - the question I have is how is immunological memory maintained - cross immunity or possibly trained innate immunity?
