Transfer of frags from one AIO to another.

[Townes_Van_Camp]

I am getting ready to frag a mixed reef and use some of the frags to start my new tank. On the old tank I battled dinos, and green hair algae until I beat them back to an "acceptable level" that I could deal with. Now that I am moving to a new tank,

What is the best course of action for movieg frags and avoiding all of the common nuisance issues being introduced? Is there a special process for snails and hermits?

I'll be moving pieces from this tank. It has been running for 6 years. 4.5 fish only and 1.5 mixed reef

Forgive my dirty glass.

I'm considering stripping the sand and and rock out zapping the tank with fluconazole, then dosing peroxide and running it as a bare frag tank while the frags heal.

Once healed, spectracide dip, remove from plugs, and introduce to newly cycled system?

You can't stop them from coming over. Hair algae and dinos are pretty much in every tank to some degree or another. Hermit and snail shells can be scrubbed (maybe with a careful bit of peroxide).
