I am reading, considering, reading more, and going over all the information I can before I start up in this hobby. This question is not meant to sound ignorant, but it is. Is ich, velvet, and flukes something that absolutely has to be introduced into the environment from an outside source? It is possible that it lays dormant until the right conditions present themselves? Is the lack of QT the only reason for these conditions developing?
I'm sorry, I just realized I hijacked someone elses thread. Should I delete it and start my own?
Thank you. Now I can settle on the fact that absolutely nothing will get introduced into my future reef without the safe time of 72 days of QT. I also understand that if I buy live rock from someone, my tank has to be fallow for that same amount of time. I think there is also a distance that I should have from my QT tank and my DT. Maybe another room.
Wait, so it can live in the gills of a fish beyond QT time?

This is like planning for a child. I don't think I will ever feel prepared. ;/
Thank you. I will add preemptively treating my fish to the list. I'm still reading on how to handle corals.
