I've been reading through a bunch of the lr posts and didn't really see a direct answer to this question, although some posts seem to touch on it. I plan on buying my lr from a lfs, $4.99 lb, fully cured fiji, in their tanks. I've calculated all of the costs and this is the most economical for me. Anyways, I do not want any unwanted inverts or parasites in my new tank, so I've read that a dip in a high salt bath with cause the unwanted critters out and into the bucket. Is this true? If it is, about how long should i leave the lr in the bucket?
