I always will be a supporter of QT-but I agree that I would lose a fish before I would tear a tank apart to further stress it. Incoming fish are already stressed, and a period of isolation and inspection does not increase that. I am sad that at least one of the "clean tank" guys that had a ich outbreak this winter has not chimed in. Much more is to be learned from failure than by success. Science is not about ego- it is about disproving your hypothisis to make it stronger. There is no question of the science of the lifecycle of ich in lab conditions- however there has been no study, nor is the able to be one, with the variables of a fullt setup reeftank. Only by getting true numbers of success and failures- and the setups that caused them can the whole story be told.
