Frag tanks spread pests fast—prevention is everything
Because frag tanks often share water flow and tight spacing, one pest introduction can become a system-wide problem. A simple dip and quarantine routine reduces risk dramatically.
The simple protocol
- Inspect every frag (underside, plug, crevices)
- Dip according to product directions
- Rinse in clean saltwater
- Quarantine when possible before moving to your main system
Why quarantine matters
Some pests don’t show immediately. A short observation window can save months of frustration.
