quarantine

When I was feeding my clowns in my DT I had noticed some white spots or bumps on one of them. After a bit of research, it appears to be ich. I did manage to get a brand new 10g to QT both clowns have a sponge and hob filter (only added sponge in media basket) running for extra aeration. Temps...

Hello everyone, I just set up a 75 gallon tank and currently have three pajama fish in there that seem to be doing good and eating fine. I also have a anthias in my quarantine tank that I will be adding within a week or two my local fish store has a really nice small yellow wrasse. That is very...

Hello All, I just set up a QT last night and added filter media from my main DT into the HOB filter on the QT tank I also dosed some live Bacteria. I had plans to get a fish soon but that fell through and I do not plan to use it until next week but would like to see how hard it is to keep it...

I had an ich outbreak in my DT about 26 days ago, and yanked all of my fish out of the tank, moved into multiple QT tanks. I have way more fish than tanks, and some would kill each other, so they are split over 7 QT tanks of different sizes. I consistently treated all of the tanks with Copper...

Roughly 3 weeks ago I got this purple tang and I admit that I did give the fish ich by not thinking through placing a hang-on-back filter that I had running on a coral QT onto this tank. As soon as I noticed the ich, I raised my copper level in the tank to 2.30ppm using copper power and within a...

Hello everyone, I am currently facing a dilemma on what to do with my tank as treatment action. About a month or more ich or ich alike disease appeared on my tank and took out some of the fish. I bought a quarantine tank and placed the fish that seem to be sick on copper for a month aprox...

I have a pair of clowns who were acting so strange. I had them for 9 months now and i noticed they were swimming weird, breathing super fast, and they weren’t eating. Long story short I now have them in quarantine and added copper. They’re doing soooo much better. I am so relieved to see them...

So far my 150 gallon has 2 clowns 1 royal gramma all captive bred. I want to add some wrasses but not sure how to quarantine them without medication. How long do I keep them in qt tank before moving into display tank? Is any medication available in Canada? Should I just observe them? Appreciate...

Hello, I finished my quarantine for copper and nitrofurazone (2 weeks at 2.5ppm copper power) as per BRSTV videos. I am now at day 5 of Paracleanse (25mg/gallon of metronidazole and 7.5mg/gallon of Praziquantel) I want to preemptively remove Flukes from my fishes. I've read on Humblefish that...

I’ve recently purchased a yellow coris wrasse from marine collectors and followed their acclamation protocol and noticed that the fish was floating upside down and not moving much but I figured it was just stressed from shipping so I put it in my tank with my other fish which are all either from...

Tank is 6.3 gallons total AIO but prob filled 5.5 gallons and with water displacement from stuff in sump. Quarantining a fire fish. 2 days ago i added 0.5ml of cupramine measured with 1ml syringe and tested. Looked like it was around 0.25 to me. Yesterday i added 0.25ml and today added the...

I sold my reef setup, and I have the following quarantine tanks for sale. 2 20-gallon glass tanks with hoods, lights, filters, and powerheads. The stand was built with 2X2, and skinned with mahogany. Asking $100 cash picked up from Raleigh, NC 27615

Hello, I got this Midas blenny from petco a couple days ago. He looked sick and I would not usually buy a sick fish but he I felt real bad for him and he was still eating so I figured I’d try to save him. He has mouth fungus. Or something like that. His face literally looks like it’s melting...

I feel like I should get an air stone... Since water change should and will be made in my future QT Setup... Pros/Cons to either one ?

Quick question for you all: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 weeks? Thanks!

Hello all! I have some fish I’ve brought back home again from my LFS to quarantine and treat. The two fish I have are a blue hippo tang, and an emperor angel. To start, the blue hippo tang has white spots covering his body, that sort of look like pimples. After adding prazi last night, some of...

Hello, I recently went to two of my LFS's and bought 2 cleaner shrimps from one store and 3 starter corals as well as a BTA from the other store. I have placed all of the corals and the shrimps into a 20 gallon QT in an attempt to not introduce ich/velvet into my DT. I was wondering how long I...

Welcome your thoughts/advice. I picked up a cleaner shrimp and psammacora frag at my LFS last weekend and put them in quarantine in a small (betta) tank in an abundance of caution: my nano has been running pest free for over two years and I'd like to keep it that way. I am now seeing what I am...

Hello. So I have a regular ocellaris clown and a mocha storm clown. The plain OC is larger than the storm. I had them both in my 6 gallon nano reef tank, and long story short I learned the hard way and didn’t quarantine and OC started acting weird for a few days but went back to normal after...

Hey all, So I royally screwed up, and need help. So I purchased a Tomini tang, and I decided not to quarantine as I really need more nutrients. 24 hours later the Tomini is covered in ich. Before putting him into the tank last night, I carefully inspected him everywhere, and saw zero white spots...

Hi, Today, I noticed my male mandarin died. I found him on the bottom of the tank when I woke up. It is a big loose for me, as he was a part of mated pair, which has been spawning several times. On 21.11.2023 I noticed ich breakdown in my tank. I have tried to manage it, and I haven't had any...

There was a comment in today's QOT (question of the day) that has me wondering: Do you quarantine or otherwise inspect/dip/etc your clean up crew? I've never done this before because I assumed whatever comes with them is nothing I could get rid off. I purchase from places I trust, and hope for...

Hi all, Not sure what forum's best for this query. I acquired some macroalgae (chaeto and culpera) from a fellow reefer. They have BJD in their tank... so I've decided to quarantine the macroalgae before adding it to my DT refugium. I get it's best to use sterile macro for refugiums but...

Hi All, I have a relatively new tank (4 months), BioCube 32g. (specifics below) I had a pair of Ocellaris Clownfish. I lost one, apparently due to aggression. I waited 5 days then, after no signs of illness, I bought a smaller Clownfish to go with the survivor. There was no sign of aggression...

I have some fish in a QT tank and I’ve been using copper power for the tank. All that is in the tank is a few pvc pieces for hides for the fish and a foam block for the filter. The copper levels keep dropping overnight. Last night the level was at 2 ppm and this morning it was at 1.09. I’m...
