FrozenFins Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hey all, I had an ich outbreak in one of my aquarium and so I am making sure I sterilize everything!! (just to make sure). I dipped the fish nets and aquarium siphon i used with a vinegar remedy with BOILING hot water. would letting a fish net/ other equitment dry kill the ich parasites? Also should I buy a different net and siphon for my qt tank to prevent cross contamination? Thanks guys, this really means alot!! -JAMES 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAC Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 James I don't know what the right answer for this is, but I can tell you what I do. I definitely have a designated net for use in tanks with something going wrong as well as a separate siphon for those times. As far as sterilization, I basically do what you do; rinse in hot hot water and let sit over night in a vinegar/ hot water concoction and then let dry completely. How successful is it? I'm not sure, but I like to think it's better than nothing. Sorry I don't have a better reply, hopefully someone else can pipe in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
