quarantine

Main tank is 2 months old (live rock start). Ugly stage is fully present and brown haze is settled in and made itself right at home. Awesome, love it, so fun. But, picked up some more fish from @Biota_Marine , a Link's & a Court Jester Goby and a Royal Gramma. I have them in a 24 gal QT...

I picked up a black saltwater Molly from my LFS today. I’m hoping it can help me identify if my fallow period was successful. I had velvet, went fallow for 45 days. I put it into my quarantine tank. My LFS had them already acclimated to salt and was tied to the same system as most of their other...

After an outbreak of Ich in my display tank, I took all the livestock out, treated them with copper, bleached the tank and restarted. Two weeks ago I added back the only remaining fish I had left. I observed them in a non-medicated tank after to ensure they were disease-free. Last week I...

just got my white-tail bristle tooth ! it said online that it was pre-quarantined, so I assumed it would only need observation qt. but i’m seeing white flecks in the shipping bag as i’m acclimating to temp ? there are no white dots or lesions at all on the fish and it’s already regained a lot of...

Hey All! Looking to get help and ensure the diagnosis is appropriate. I had my clowns get what was originally determined to be ich…and they were covered. Transferred and stood up 10 gallon QT and they’ve been doing well. Their appetites are still very much there and almost all of it is gone...

Jeweler’s glasses? Hands-free magnifying glass? Reading glasses? My first corals are in quarantine and I’m paranoid about making sure they go in the DT pest-free. My DT has been stable and almost perfect for 6 months FOWLR. What works best to inspect your corals for pests? Also, I didn’t re-frag...

I have 2 purple tangs, 1 yellow tang, 2 sailfin tangs, 1 gem tang, 1 yellow eye kole tang, 1 blue hippo, 1 scopas, 1 bicolor fox face, 1 one spot fox face, 1 koi tang, 1 six line wrasse, 1 baby azure damsel and 5 green chromis. all relatively large except the damsel. I was gonna disperse them...

Hello, I bought a coral beauty that was supposed to be treated in copper before purchasing. After about 4 hours of being in the tank and the lights went blue, I noticed it had ich on its body. Does this cause concern about it dropping off the fish? Is my tank now infected within such a short...

Hi everyone, 4 days ago, I bought six fish from my local fish store: a foxface, Midas blenny, longnose hawk, yellow tang, orchid dottyback, and bangaii cardinal. All of them were eating well at the store. When I got home, I added them to my two quarantine tanks, and they all ate on the first...

I can’t catch a break yall. The inhabitants of my 150 gal reef tank have all been in QT with copper power for velvet since July 4. Lost an bellus angel, engineer goby, annd two anthias before I figured out what it was and pulled the tank apart. Everyone is doing well now and I haven’t had any...

Im putting together a full time 40 breeder to have as a quarantine for new fish and to treat any sick fish. So I’m curious to know how many people keep a full time hospital tank/ Quarantine tank and do you keep dry/ cycled rock in it. Or do you keep some sort of sponge filter to house the...

Setup my first coral QT about a two weeks ago now. I've had my DT running for 6 months now. But I haven't had any lights on the tank, since I haven't had any corals. So I didn't realize quite how quickly nuisance algae can tank over a tank. Especially one that is fresh and clean like a freshly...

Hi everyone, Happy Memorial Day weekend! So I decided I'm going to set up a small quarantine tank, about 10 gallons and I have a few questions: 1. I have two BIO-bricks in my main tank (it's almost done cycling) , can I put those in my quarantine tank and the tank will skip the cycle? (I can...

OK so long story short around March 9, 2024 I noticed my fish (2 clowns) breathing heavily and I didn't know what was going on. I bought at that time, a cardinal fish from my local fish store and thought maybe it was a disease brought by that new fish. It was weird because my two clown fishes...

Hello guys. I'm a complete newbie to fishkeeping, despite having a group of 5 sexy shrimps for a while. I've got my pair of clownfish (4-5 cm) 3 days ago, and I did follow the protocol from humble fish. I started with drip acclimation in 45 minutes, followed by a 45-minute formalin bath which...

Just looking for everyone’s opinion and feedback on what they think could have happened So I started a quarantine tank. 20 gallon long with a coralife 40gallon filter. I have the fter pad and some anommia remover pad in there. PVC and a 100w heater. I have not medicated any of the fish. I am...

Hey yall Had this guy for 2 months in QT, was planning on keeping him but got a flaming prawn goby that could fit in his mouth so not going to risk it It has been thru 2 week prazi and 5 week of copper safe. Eats everything, pellets and frozen Asking $90 plus shipping Doa policy: Three...

I got my first batch of coral frags on Tuesday. I dipped them using CoralRx put them on new frag plugs and put them in a QT tank. I noticed what looked like little white hairs or tentacles on the stony base/skeleton of one of the acan frags. I took some pictures to post to ask if this was normal...

I started this hobby in 2020 and purchased a good deal of my livestock from LiveAquaria. I never received sick or infested items. Jump to 2024 and everything from fish to coral has arrived with disease or bad hitchhikers. My last two attempts at purchasing fish were ick riddled and died during...

Hey guys, I’ve had this gem in copper QT for about two weeks. He’s eating great and has put on noticeable mass since. It is active all day and is even territorial when I linger in front of the tank. This is my first Gem so not sure if the spots on him are just natural coloration or if it...

Hello everyone I recently purchased a bunch of wrasse to QT and place into my display tank. I put sand in the tank so that they have a place to sleep and not stress out too much along with some PVC. I will start copper power tomorrow or the following day once they’re all settled in. I know...

My new blue spot puffer has been in the quarantine tank for five days. This morning he had these three white spots on the right side of his belly. What is it? How can I treat it?

This foxface has been in QT alone for about a week now. Coppersafe is at 2.20 ppm. He does move to eat whenever I feed it, but otherwise he's often lying at the bottom of the tank not moving around much. It occasionally picks at the bottom of the tank, I'm assuming it's trying to eat some...

So we have a brand new tank set up (and also bought an 10g QT). We want to start with a pair of clowns and maybe a goby (eventually?) The one fish we knowingly bought from a questionable fish shop (Nothing clean, fish looks okay - young). We only bought there because it was listed as (and...
