no craiglist was put in stone way back in the days. i remember it was a dark stormy night, mikee and the mods when out to the wood of south coast plaza. then went to the south parking lot and etched it on one of the light poles.

No cycle just wipes out your tank if you don't medicate with prazi. Treatment last 5-7 days and u repeat if it comes back. Corals do get affected by it specially nems...

I started that thread a while back on RC. I still see fish from LFS carry flukes. Mainly butterflies, angels, anthias, and wrasses. Tangs rarely gets flukes from my experience. Flukes are hard to see on the fish. They live under the scales and on the gills. Normally with all new fish I freshwater dip the fish for 5 minutes. If flukes falls off (small white opaque sesame sized) then I treat with Prazipro. If nothing falls off Ill just watch for symptoms later in the quarantine tank.

Don't let this happen to you:
When praziquantel reportedly failed to cure fish of flukes in their Atlantic Coral Reef exhibit, the staff at Albuquerque's BioPark Aquarium inadvertently killed about 100 fish - in front of patrons during operating hours

Not sure why Prazipro didnt work. It always worked for me. They probably didnt use enough Prazipro.
