Thanks CarmieJo!

Do they work with keeping fish diseases out of your tank?? I heard they did. We are thinking about getting on for our FOLR 65 long tank.

Good or Bad idea??

They will kill free swimming parasites that they come into contact with.

Just remember that they are "non-discriminatory", meaning, they will kill first stage larva of isopods, amphipods, mysid etc. too. This may not be a problem for you, in a mature reef tank, with refugia. But, for smaller systems, and those that require heavy pod populations (i.e. for mandarins, sygnathids) you may end up causing a downturn on the populations of these critters.

Just like everything in life, there are pros and cons that need to be discussed and thought of before making the decision. Personally, I didn't use one on my seahorse tanks, just for the purpose listed above. However, I do plan on using one on the new 56 column (Reef) that I'm setting up.

They sure can be. They will help with algae or parasites, anything smallish and "water-borne". D
