quarantine

Hey Guys so I am in a weird situation where I bought a yasha goby-candy cane pistol shrimp pair but I'm left with the decision if I want to put the candy cane pistol in the quarantine tank with the yasha or put the candy cane pistol in the actual reef tank and just separate the pair, would this...

Hi reefers! I finally pulled the trigger and start this hobby after dreaming about it for over 10 years. So now I'm doing a ton of research about it before going to build up my first tank. There are quite some things I run into and I just can't figure it out myself. Hopefully one of you more...

Hi everyone, I'm starting my first reef tank and I've finally gotten to the step of adding my first fish and I need some help with quarantining. I was planning on doing the 80/20 quarantine recommended on the BRS TV series with Elliott.. but I only found out this weekend that Furan-2 has been...

So I bought an azure damselfish on Monday, and he is currently in QT. However, since I put him in he’s been looking quite pale and acting quite shy. I haven’t seen him eat any pellets whenever I drop them in (so maybe it’s time to drop in some frozen mysis that’s in my freezer lol). Even so, he...

Hey guys I’m here with some sort of somber news, I’d been treating my fish for velvet and they did sadly kick the bucket, there were in a qt bin that had a sponge filter some media to hold bacteria and a heater and finally pvc decorations, I was wondering as the bin of as used for treating...

Hi All, I have an emergency situation unfolding. I just graduated my midas blenny from quarantine into my 180G display 3 days ago. I treated with 2 doses prazi, 5 doses of metro, and cupramine at .5mg/l. I now noticed this morning he had some white spots on him but it was super faint/small and...

Hi. I was hoping to get some advice. I will be acquiring two clown and a sixline (rehoming situation guaranteed ick) and I will be quarantining them. This will be my first quality/ medicated quarantine situation so I want to do it right. I watched the BRS TV video series and was thinking about...

Hey guys this is a quite annoying scenario for me but i want opinions from anyone on possible ideas, so I had decided to finally add fish to my tank lucky me after all the work cycling it it was finally ready yay! Turns out one of my little inhabitants has come down with what im almost sure is...

Hello, I just wrapped up 14 days of QT for my mystery wrasse. I ran 1.65 copper power for 14 days, and never once noticed anything wrong, except for some twitching of the head. I suspect flukes. No flashing, no spots, eats like a champ, very open swimmer. I just transferred it to a brand new...

I got this anemone almost a week ago and it's been in my quarantine. I'm pretty sure it ate about 4 days ago. Sometimes it will completely deflate in the middle of the day and now it's doing this! What do I do? What's happening?

I had what I believe to be a vibrio outbreak wipe out most of my tank. I have a microscope on the way so I can confirm that it isn’t uronema. I’ve removed what’s left of the fish. They’ve been in QT for a week, treating with Maracyn 2 + KanaPlex. There’s only three fish remaining out of 18...

Humblefish's quarantine protocol and BRS video on quarantining for Brook & Uronema have rather conflicting advice about prophylactic treatments for brook/uronema. In summary: BRS video Humblefish Food-soaking with metro Second best option in quarantine No (symptomatic infections only)...

Does copper artificially elevate salinity readings on refractometers? I am at 0.25 copper today, and did a water change before starting to ramp up. The bucket of water I mixed said 35ppt, and I just went to test the salinity of the QT tank and it was at 43. I'm adding fresh RODI water to bring...

Hello, looking to have some fish shipped to me. They are Biota captive bred. I want to QT and monitor for any disease. I don’t plan on doing any preemptive things like hypo salinity or copper. Just a month or so monitor. I have a 28 gal tank that’s dry in the garage. I want to add salt water...

#fishmedics, is there a strong case to follow the 60 days quarantine protocol outlined by @Jay Hemdal, instead of a shorter one like the one @Dierks follows (see below). Since I live in a small apartment, I'd have more space if I set up the QT for only 17 day periods. I do have an observation...

I’m currently quarantining all of my fish and figured while I have the QT up and running it would be a good time to add a new fish. My LFS offered me a great deal on a Yellow Tang, he’s had them in the shop now for over a month, they’re all just under 2 inches, great color and eat well. My QT...

Hi All, I wondered what the risks would be to running the coral and invertebrates QT tank off of my primary display's sump? There are so many advantages of using the same water source in both tanks, and I cannot think of any real risks because I believe that any potential coral hitchhikers do...

Somewhere I failed to successfully quarantine my fish. I did the 30 day process with cooper and prazi pro. Cooper at 2.5 but I didn’t test everyday. Now all my fish and corals are in my DT. I noticed really tiny white spots starting to form on my bioata yellow tang and blue tang. All my other...

Hey Everyone, I have a reasonably sized QT system that I have housed 2 small tangs and a Flame hawkfish in for approximately 3 weeks now. I have observed the fish for 1 week ensuring they are all eating well (which they are) and for any obvious signs of disease. I then dose the tank with...

I just noticed these white spots all over my one clown. How can I tell if it's Velvet or Brooklynella? I attached pictures although it was very hard to capture a clear photo of it. Is there anything I can do to stop it? And do I have to start over after this, like a 100% water change? Thanks!

Customs in Italy are a mess, so I can only buy Cupramine from other EU countries, or Coppersafe from Amazon US (That ships with DHL, which has its own customs). Which one should I get? Coppersafe is less harsh, but I've heard there are often inconsistencies in terms of the copper potency of the...

Hey peeps, So, only have myself to blame but I've gotten myself into a bit of a pickle. From what I believe, the hard part is done but now for the patience. It had been a while since I've had my QT set up, the gear was all packed away. Anyway, the tank needed some new fish so I decided to get...

As the title states - How do I reintroduced beneficial bacteria to my sponge filter? Here’s where my filter sits today. In my “little closet cabinet” for SW needs etc. Received new I just drenched it in fresh water and rung it out. Plopped it into my HOB Filter for a few weeks. If you know...
