Many of us take great steps to avoid issues of ick and other nasty critters. How do you guys handle sps frag purchases. I have a routine of taking the frags off the plugs upon arrival and then placing on a new plug and putting in my QT sps 30 gallon tank.. problem is for some reason since I have no fish ect in the 30 gallon I can only keep them in there a two week until they suffer and some do not make it.
I do this to avoid stages of Ick that might be on the plug. How do you guys who do heavy QT handle the plug issue. I would like to simply put these frags right into my tank and avoid the QT stage but not crazy on that idea.. I have been doing this for 40 plus years. I have had tank wipe out from ick on two occassions ... for the past five years anything wet gets QT but not so easy... frags fail to make it through the QT ...
