I have had a FOWLR now a reef for 15 years. I now *think* I have an ich free tank and have followed the QT process outlined on this forum of TTM (no longer will I use prazi pro!). I started using the process after a tank wipe out due to velvet 4 years ago. I have killed more fish during QT then I ever lost before I started the process. My poor experience with QT are mostly due to my QT system is just not as stable as my DT. I am constantly making newbie mistakes.. and tend to think less time in QT is better due to my issues with QT. Once a fish lives 1 - 2 weeks in my care.. they typically live 10+ years.. so my experience with QT is still immature.
Reading this thread has provided great insight.. I do think however the poll needs to be more descriptive b/c even I would have a hard time answering... I am 95% sure my tank is ich free BUT I have placed inverts directly into the tank so it is possible ich entered the system.
I am still going to QT all fish before they go into the DT to fatten them up... I am not going to use any medication unless I see a problem.
