It is the least you can do to help prevent any unwanted additions to your system. The month long duration will allow any eggs that are on the coral to hatch and begin their feeding; thus easier to spot. |
All of the corals for my future project are collected now and treated for several monts. After the new tank is set up I won't add anything anymore (at least not Acropora and Montipora). I just make sure to collect some really nice species now and let them grow out later
While I agree that tanks still can flourish while infected with AEFW in combination with blowing off the flatworms every week, I always wonder how the corals would have developed without these worms constantly draining the corals energy to heal the existing coral tissue.
