    QT New Corals?

    Hey guys. I just picked up 4 corals from a guys tank in my local area. It looked like his tank may have ich and it didn't look well cared for.

    Triple dip - combo

    So, I've been having fun prophylactically dipping all my SPS before gluing everything to their final spots. The reason I've decided to do this you ask? Well, I've decided my relaxed dipping methods without QT for corals is going to end now. I have too much money in livestock at this point to...
