Hi all,
I was reading a couple of posts about ICH and found out that you can contaminate a tank by using the same equipment from a tank which has ich.
I really don't want to buy a new set of kit for the second tank, so I was wondering how long ICH lives out of water.
So far I have been washing the equipment with really hot tap water before I put it in the other tank I figured that if the free swiming spores die at 86f in the tank then they must die easily at 100+ when washing right?
