Cross contamination, what do you do?

[squirrilah fish]

Generally all our tanks are healthy, but the worry of something bad popping up is always in our mind, and worse spreading it from one tank to another.

How many of you use separate nets, buckets, siphons, etc. for all your tanks? What do you do?

i have a separate bucket and net that I use if a tank gets sick then I apply boiling water to kill nasties when all is said and done and return it to general use again. They almost never get used for sick purposes though.

I used a bucket for a bad situation before and I drew a series or xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx around it, now I don't even segregate it.. I just rinse stuff between tanks and keep a net for each tank..use the same hose and just rinse.. I'm believing in completely drying out stuff for a few days kills most nasties..
