    White "slime-coat" marks on Clown. Treated with Furan-2. Need help with ID.

    I need some help identifying if something is off with my little clown. He's in my second system and the display refugium now. I put him through a full duration of Furan-2 to address if the white skin mark was a slime coat issue or an infection from a wound. I just put him back after being in...

    Should I Quaretine the cleaning crew?

    Hey guys, how is it going? My tank is cycling yet but I want to add a cleaning crew in a few weeks, but I'm not sure if I should QT them. I read somewhere that inverts don't get Ich, so I shouldn't QT them. I plan on QT the clownfish when I add them, but should I do the same with the cleaning...

    When setting up a quarantine tank should you add bacteria to the water or just leave it as fresh salt water? Its just very basic, small pump with foam filter, very small basic skimmer, no heater since the room is 26C (I live in the desert so better with a chiller ) (ignore the temperature it's...

    Need Advice With a Copperband Butterflyfish

    I have a copperband butterflyfish on hold for me at my LFS, and the first day I saw him I decided to get him because I've always wanted one and I watched him eat mysis (I've heard it's hard to get copperbands to eat frozen/prepared foods). He looked great, he was active and picking at the rocks...

    Reserved Clown

    I just ordered 2 clowns. One medium and one small. I placed them in their quarantine tank after I properly drip acclimated them for 2 hours. It's been 5 days now and I just noticed for the past day or two that the smaller one stays in a particular bottom corner and doesn't swim around much...

    Add water to quarantine tank?

    How do I top off my 10g quarantine throughout the weeks using it? I added my display tank water and I thought I heard somewhere that I top it off with it as well, but wouldn't that increase my salinity?

    Can fish be asymptomatic?

    I had watched a short documentary on Typhoid Mary and how she passed the disease on to so many others without being affected at all. So I was wondering if the same thing could happen with fish. For example: quarantine a fish for 2 months, no symptoms, but then when you add that fish to your...

    Other options besides quarantine

    So I do not have space for a quarantine tank. I am looking for other proven options. I have a UV starilzer. I have read about fresh water dipping and other methods with buckets. I really don't think they are realistic. They both seem like they would stress the fish. Looking for others experience.
