I hadn't thought about that. It's very possible that that's how it's been happening.

I'm pretty optimistic that after this round I'll have annihilated it. The fish are the only ones with contaminated sand or rock with them now and at that I checked each piece that is in the quarantine tank for strands of this stuff and any that were present I just threw the whole rock out.

That said, anybody know how long it would take to go through a fish's digestive system? My largest fish is a foxface.
