qt setup

Hey everyone this will be my coral frag and invert QT to my main DT. Im cataloging it more to look back on and use to keep track of everything going into my tank. As well as the frags I will inevitably have later. This tank will not hold any fish as that one will be separated due to the copper...

I recently upgraded from a 20 gallon IM nuvo to a 65 gallon JBJ AIO. I’ve moved the majority of live stock to the 65 gallon DT and I eventually want to use the old 20 gallon tank for a quarantine tank. I’ve found the humble fish articles, but it covers setting up a QT from scratch. I’m wondering...

Here is a video of my prototype of a Bucket Transfer Method Quarantine system I am testing out. This design is based on the method used at Roger Williams University: https://www.reef2rainforest.com/2017/02/10/bucket-transfer-qt-method/ One thing missing is a nano power head to keep the bath...

PLEASE SCROLL TO SECOND PAGE FOR UPDATE/QUESTION Good morning, I fancied myself uber prepared and well-researched, but I just got the tracking numbers on my first fish order and am feeling the butterflies. The 20% got me. Needed a third fish to qualify... hoping it doesn't cause problems...

It’s been a rough week for my lagoon. I have lost three of my five fish for an unknown reason. I have run tests and cannot find anything out of the ordinary. The fish also appear to be normal and show no abnormal behaviors one day and are gone the next. I’ve decided with the remaining fish...

I have 2 20g tanks that I'm cycling right now I plan to qt 4 small fish in each tank with copper powder, I want to know if should I do daily water changes and how much, is 20% enough for that bioload or should I do 50% ? In the first tank i will put a pair of small clownfish, 1 royal gramma, 1...

Please forgive me if this should be under disease treatment instead but I posted here since I’m treating tonight and need help ASAP. I have a DT that’s 65g and was a mixed reef tank. I converted it to fowlr about three months ago. I added a porcupine puffer that came from a local reefer that was...

Im trying to set up a qt tank to allow a couple of weeks of observation before frags are moved over to frag tank. Need some suggestions on lights, flow, etc. This will be a 10 gallon tank for SPS only, will be in the QT for max of three weeks. Thanks all!

So I am setting up a QT for my system and I am a little confused about the process as there seems to be a lot of conflicting opinions. Here are my questions. 1. How do you maintain beneficial bacteria in the system? With no rocks/substrate where do they live? Can I use maripure balls to keep...

I have a 55g QT tank and i am having trouble with the process. I am following the standard procedure of getting fish, drip and temperature acclimating and the 24hrs later starting the process: On day two, medicate with Prazipro. On day seven, perform a 50% water change with new saltwater...

I've been doing a lot of reading on QT tanks, A LOT. ;Bookworm;Bookworm;Bookworm I want to set up a QT tank but my concern is that I've read that daily water changes are needed. I work 12 hour shifts 4 days a week and during my work week it would be almost impossible to have time to do a daily...

To start, I have a small system and no QT. I got 2 new wrasses last week (7 days ago) and they went straight into the display. They have been eating well, very active, etc and today I noticed probably 2 spots of ich on each fish. Fish in my display have had it before and fought it off and I have...
