    Sick Clownfish Won’t Eat

    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...

    How to avoid ammonia spikes while getting a fish to eat in QT

    Its just difficult not to overfeed when you're trying to entice a new fish to start eating. I won't bore you with the ammonia spike in my QT tank, but it happened just a week after adding one fish to my newly cycled 20G QT tank. I hadn't even added copper yet. At the moment I'm using an...

    Quarantine process

    Unpopular opinion; I only quarantine my fishes for only 10 days I start my 10 days after my copper reaches 2.0-2.5. When I first started the hobby I was plagued with ich/velvet. I killed many many fishes when I did not quarantine. Its has been 2 years since I started this quarantine process...

    Cupramine and Prazipro

    My fish just completed a 30 day long treatment of Cupramine at 0.5ppm last week. I have added Cuprisorb and Carbon in the tank to try to absorb as much copper as possible. I have also been doing more frequent water changes. The quarantine tank is 150 gallons so I am not able to do an extremely...

    Dr Reef insane quality!

    After stocking my 220g with non quarantined, lfs and random online fish my tank crashed due to velvet. I fallowed for 90 days and swore that would never happen again and decided to buy from Dr Reef as I don’t have the patience or knowledge necessary to quarantine myself. I have placed three...

    Quarantine Tank Size

    I currently have a 20g (not a long), and am thinking about upgrading to a 180 and using my current one as a quarantine tank since I already have it. I'd like to get a Tang or two, but I'm not sure if you can keep them in a QT tank that small for the 30+ days required to medicate them.

    Online QT and is it good?

    I don't have the means to quarantine fish myself and I was looking unto places to quarantine. People local to me say that all online places have lots of problems and was wondering if that was true and what places people recommend.

    Using 5.5G plastic container to quarantine nano fish

    Can I use a 5.5G plastic container to quarantine 1 or 2 gobies and similar nano fish for the standard 1.5 month quarantine period with copper? Are there plastics that aren't compatible with copper tretaments? Thanks!

    Build Thread Attempting fully disease free tank. Completely quarantined and medicated everything.

    I’m starting a 90 gal mixed tank which I have decided to practice full eradication instead of the management techniques. I’ve run tanks in the past using the dump and pray method and while I generally got lucky I want the peace of mind this time. The tank is a 90gal I got off Facebook...

    Diving into QT for the first time!

    QUARANTINE! I've really dove into the rabbithole of QT. It's not really something that people in my reefing community do on this side of the world and gratefully having the space I thought i'd attempt to do so as best I can. I would appreciate any and all help to improve or remind me of what I...

    Please help with building quarantine tank

    Is this a good kit to buy? It's 20 gallons, hood, heater, light, and filter. Only thing I "dont" like is the filter. Will it be good enough for just a few weeks worth of quarantine at a time...

    Help setting up emergency QT system

    Hey everyone. So I have a 135g Mixed reef. I believe that my Blue Hippo Tang (newest addition- added 1.5 months ago) got Brooklynella and gave it to my yellow tang. The hippo is looking in very rough shape. Discolored patchy face, jagged fins, not eating and hiding (2 -3 days now). I hadn’t...

Now my question is; do I need to cycle the quarantine tank? Or will I be fine if I have the right parameters? along with right...

    Adding fish to quarantine

    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...

    Tang with discoloration near pectoral fin

    I had this tang in QT for about two months. I am new to the QT portion of the hobby. I was lucky enough to go 4 years with adding fish straight to main tank and nothing happened until luck ran out. So now I am being cautious with that being said I did the Cupramine treatment and two freshwater...
