quarantine

**ATTACHED PICS** I have a 75gal reef tank with live rock, 3 fish (coral beauty, clown, mandarin goby), 5 coral (three of which are attached to rock) and a clam that is also attached to rock. I did a big move into a new home and because of the pandemic I wasn’t able to hire movers for my tank...

My buddy just gave me his old AIO Evo. This thing was previously infested with everything in the book... I planned on setting this up as a QT. After a deep scrub... Is it still even worth using as a QT or am I playing with fire?

Okay. As EVERYONE of us is stuck at home and MANY of us have started a new project. I built my tank last week and got it salted and seeded on thursday. I was ALMOST finished cycling on Monday. Then i added more raw meat and the chems screwed up again. Which just means more bacteria so not...

So, I did something foolish and my poor puffer had to pay for it. I was performing a tank transfer(no discussion about TTM, please) with my Valentini puffer and a few other fish. I bought a second Penguin 200 as a filter, but it was missing a piece on the intake, so I couldn't attach the...

I've had this guy in quarantine for about a week and noticed this developing a couple days ago. Any clue as to what it is and how to treat? He is eating fine, but every now and then he kinda flex curls to that side, so I think it's agitating him more.

My Christmas wrasse is in the tank! I’ve been searching for one for months and he has just finished quarantine.

Just got this Christmas wrasse early this week. He’s been in QT for a few days now and I noticed some slight discoloration on his side. Currently feeding him medicated food daily (API GC + Focus + Selcon). He’s had normal poop, swimming and eating normally. Anything to be worried about? Should I...

Hello Everyone! I wish I had a more exciting discussion topic for my first post on R2R but we deal with the hand we are dealt. I recently decided to get back into the hobby after being out of it for almost 10 years (tragic story there). Either way, I decided I wanted to do it 100% the right way...

Hello I was wondering if I could put a couple of sponge filters in my sump so I would have them established for quarantining but was wondering if I would have to have the air stone in them to have water moved through or if I could just place the sponges right in it. Thanks for any responses!

For all of you TTM proponents... It finally happened to me. I have a major ich infestation in my display. So far only my blue tang and sailfin have visible symptoms. Because it is a fully operating reef, I feel my only method of treatment will be removing the fish.I feel that tank transfer...

So I'm setting up a couple of QT tanks as it appears some of my fish have started getting ICK (figures seeing I just took my UV Sterilizer off line last month). Anyways, I was planning on taking a rock or 2 out of my sump to help seed the QT tanks. However, I seem to remember reading before that...

You guys I have run into a live discussion that Humblefish will be chatting with ReefDudes on youtube! I know a lot of folks look up to him and this would be a great chance to hear what he has to say on the subject that a lot of us are looking for advise, Quarantining fish. Looks like it goes...

Ok so I’m going to admit I’ve never really dosed ammonia or did the fishless way to cycle my tank I’ve always done freshwater and pretty much in tank cycling. I’m going to read my parameters from the last 3 days and how I’ve been cycling the tank and any suggestions to if I’m doing anything...

Hi everyone, I hope everybody is doing good. I have some questions about marine ich, I want to separate fact from fiction so if you can help me out I’d very much appreciate it. 1. Can a fish have ich and not show any signs of it? 2. I’ve been told a fish can carry ich and not show signs of it...

So I noticed 2 dead fish in my 20gal nano on Friday. Have 2 clownfish and a blue chromis still alive in my tank, I noticed marine velvet covering the two clowns. I went out and bought “Kick Ich & Rally.” I posted this on this forum and people said I need to quarantine. Today I put all 3 in a 5...

I am so upset right now. I've had a beautiful Yellow Tang in my QT for the last month or so while my 120 finishes cycling. The tang was swimming, had no signs of illness, ate regularly up until today. I just found him lifeless on the bottom of my QT. I started Copper treatment (Cuprion) on...

I’m setting up a frag system that I intend to populate with Trochus snails, a wrasse, a current stock of corals, and , eventually, new corals. So, I have been researching an appropriate way to quarantine them. I have read about hobbyists putting snails and corals into a 76-day quarantine...

I am currently battling Pyramid Snails, Acropora-Eating Flatworms, and Acoel Flatworms in my display system. I recently removed all Montipora frags from that system due to Montipora-Eating Nudibranchs. Needless to say, even after dipping in Dr G's SPS & LPS Coral Dip Solution and CoralRx Coral...

1. You should Quarantine all fish, especially Tangs 2. You should introduce tangs into the Display Tank at the same time to reduce hostility 3. Likely need to quarantine them together Question: How big a quarantine tank do you need? I have a 180G DT and plan on 3 tangs. I have a 20G QT...

Hi, I currently have a Melanurus and Yellow Coris wrasse in a 29gal quarantine tank with a dish of sand. The Melanurus seems to exhibit pretty standard diurnal behavior; he's out during the day and sleeps in the sand at night.TYellow Coris did the same for about a week, however in the past 3...

Hello Brains trust, looking for some guidance on what to do next... Tank: - Red Sea Reefer 350, no corals. Fish only at the moment. - 2 Designer clownfish - 4 reef chromis - 1 Purple tang So, the clownfish and chromis were the first fish in to the tank (didn't quarantine these guys). After 4...

So I was sitting here thinking about some 'maxims' - that are promulgated here often - and wondered - whether they make sense. Note - I'm not criticizing or discounting anecdote - that said - I wonder about some common sayings in the reefing community (which are usually supported by anecdote -...

I've seen similar threads out there but I just wanted to be sure I'm up to date with current best practice recommendations for quarantine with an emphasis on clownfish. I'll provide some background info first. My DT is a RedSea Max Nano that has been cycling for the past 25 days, containing...
