coral qt

Setup my first coral QT about a two weeks ago now. I've had my DT running for 6 months now. But I haven't had any lights on the tank, since I haven't had any corals. So I didn't realize quite how quickly nuisance algae can tank over a tank. Especially one that is fresh and clean like a freshly...

I'm getting either the Eshopps Deskmate 5G or the Waterbox 10 G as a coral quarantine for easy SPS: Pocillopora (Cauliflower) Seriatopora (Bird's nest) Stylophora (Cat's Paw) Montipora Digitata (Finger) Acropora Yongei (Bali Green Slimer) Do I need a a Kessil A160WE 40w, or can I get away with...

Im trying to set up a qt tank to allow a couple of weeks of observation before frags are moved over to frag tank. Need some suggestions on lights, flow, etc. This will be a 10 gallon tank for SPS only, will be in the QT for max of three weeks. Thanks all!

The Bad News: Microscope finally arrived and confirmed my Coral QT junk is Dinos! But, I am having a hard time determining exactly what type of Dinos I have! Please see attached photo... This Coral QT has been a royal pain in the hind-end since starting it. I am really starting to wonder if...

My coral QT seems to have dirty water all the time. It's only nice sparkling clear after a water change, but quickly the gunk starts to build up on the walls and the sand gets cloudy residue quickly. I have some gha growth in the tank but minimal... mostly get a brownish dusting or algae...

Scanning the Fish Disease QT page, we find ourselves scanning a lot of "QT Failed" threads. Tonight, I discovered an unwanted pest in my quarantine tank this evening (Not fish... I know.. probably the wrong section but since we cover coral QT here ;) ) however, I wanted to spread the good...
