TOOL SERILIZATION (For Ich) to avoid Cross contamination to other Healthy tank.
Although I practice good techniques to not cross contaminate my two tanks (for everything including Algae, Cyano, fish deseases like ich) what is the best tool sterilization method?
I use separate buckets, hoses. Even so, I rinse hoses and buckets and never use again till they are fully dry. I use buckets that I have labelled dirty and they only are for water extracts.
I use separate labelled cups to extract water from both tanks for water testing (ie I never put water test kit syringes inside both tanks).
But I do use thongs, cutter and tools like that between tanks.
I rinse them with fresh water, then let dry at least a day before using again in other tank.
Is that good enough to avoid an ich transfer? Or is there something better that I can do during this ich outbreak. (Like use Hydrogen Peroxide or vinegar to sterile tools before drying).
