    Hi everyone,
    I previously had an infestation of hydra, dragonfly, damselfy nymphs, codrypods, seed shrimps etc.

    Just 1 question, can I reuse my hose , rainbar, j-bar and media and canister filter again in my new tank? Will the nightmare manifest again? The equipment has been flushed with tap water. Yes just flush. But it has been left high and dry for around 2 months. Does these creatures hibernate in the dry and it's Jurassic park pt 4 for me?

    Gurus and people with experience, kindly advice me.

    yes...flush everything with hot water....especially driftwood if you have. And best is to keep them dried before using it

    Thanks all.
    I believe it's safe after all. Just use hot water to be doubly safe.

    To bro evilsands, it's up to u actually. Some can live with it some can't. I decide. I can't so I chose to seem and destroy.

    To bro chlorophyll, yeah, you'll never know with these primitively structured
    Creatures. Maybe they have survive through evolution? I don't know. Hehe. Never research.
