Since I'll be treating for RB and would like to avoid getting them again as well as other pests, what's the proper way or safest way to QT new frags and for that matter fish? I know I'll be doing an Interceptor dip with all new frags but I'm not sure how strong it needs to be and for how long. What can be done to avoid flat worms? I've read about Flatworm Exit, Seachem Reef Dip, Tropic Marine dip, and another type of livestock dewormer med. for the flat worms. I would like to hear what your Bug Prevention Plan is.

I use Seachem Reef Dip @ double the recommended strength.

You will need to dip two methods to kill the R.B.'S and F.W.'S.

I tripple the dose on the interceptor and dip for 3 hours. I have never diped for AEFW but will start by using Fluke tabs and looking for any eggs to scrape off.
