#quarantine

I'm looking at what cool things I could put in my tank, but already have a cleanup crew. My tank is still new, so they are the first thing I put in my tank (snails & 1 hermit). I didn't quarantine them, so are you supposed to quarantine snails or acclimate them to my saltwater and let them in? I...

Hi I have a pair of Flurry Clown fish in my Quarantine that I added Saturday. I was curious if anyone has any tips or tricks to observing the fish over the 3-4 week QT time regarding identifying diseases such as ich/velvet/brooklynella? If the fish were regular ocellaris clowns it would be a lot...

So in the 10 years I’ve been in this hobby, I’m unfortunately setting up my first QT tank. I’ve been battling ich and possibly flukes on some, not all of my fish. I’ve done FW dips on those few that seem infected but the relief only lasts so long. Seems like I’m chasing my own tail with it...

Hello, I'd like to purchase a small (1.5 inch) Yellow Watchman and McCoskers Flsaher Wrass from my LFS, but I need to check my QT strategy. I have Copper Power, Prazipro and Reef Medic on hand. I've read that Wrasse in particular are sensitive to meds. I had planned to do a standard 30...

I have a tank that was used with copper treatment. Is it possible to clean it out and reuse the glass aquarium and heater for a betta fish? thank you!

Hi Everyone. There is a thread on this same topic but it dates back to 2015 so I thought I would revive the discussion. A trusted reefer in my city generously gave me a handful of cheato. I say he's a trusted reefer because he's been in the hobby for long and has a well established and...

Good Evening, I added these Freshwater black Molly’s and drip acclimated to my QT tank with my 3 Blue STAR LEOPARD wrasse to use them as canary fish to identify ich or other diseases. It was the easiest way for me to not use copper on the wrasses. Everything is good and they are eating but I...

Hi everyone, I’m setting up my 180 gallon reef tank very soon and I’m putting a lot of planning into my stocking list. I know the naso tang is gonna be too big for my tank at a point but I have plans for a 300+ gallon reef within the next couple of years. My friend is rehoming the naso and it’s...
