Aquarium Fish Magazine,Jan.2007,Reef Aquarist, "Parasites in a reef.."

He had a friend with a tank that had parasites that would live through the quarantine period.So they came up with a plan.

The fish get treated with copper,and or formaldehyde baths first(in the QT).Once the fish are free of parasites.Then start adding a cup to the DT everyday for three weeks.

The idea being,the tromont won't release all the tromites if there is no fish present.A cup of QT water with the chemical scents of a fish will fool them into releasing the rest of them.
