quarantine tank

I recently added 2 clownfish to my tank and now I’m not sure if one of them has ich or brooklynella. Every thing in tank is fine besides slightly high salinity of 37-38ppt. Im not sure if I should treat both of them for brooklynella and/or ich using metroplex or just the one showing symptoms.

I'll be connecting my 235 to my frag/qt tank this weekend and now I'm wondering about a few things. I'll be doing 3.5gals auto-water change every day. That water will go to the frag tank. It will primarily be for cuttings and new arrivals but I didn't want it to circulate back to the DT just in...

Hi everyone, I’m planning to set up a quarantine tank using a 35L Really Useful storage box (this one: https://www.reallyusefulstorageboxes.co.uk/35litre-really-useful-storage-box-c2x12529639). Since the box isn’t completely transparent, I was wondering if that could be an issue for the fish...

Hey everybody! Today I decided to take the plunge and rip my tank apart after a downhill turn in ich management. I have a 75g reef tank that's currently empty, and I set up my old 75g non drilled tank as the hospital tank. I got sick and tired of dealing with ich so I took the plunge. The...

Used for three weeks. Stand included (cost $115). Pump is not the best, could use a more powerful one if going that route. I used this for a QT tank, worked well for that. I am located near Reading, PA. I can meet up if that is needed, tank is not very heavy

Hi Everyone, I'm being wiped out by brown jelly right now. I'm so sad - 3 beautiful torches, a hammer on its way out and a duncan retracting. The dumb thing is about 10 days ago I thought it would be really neat to group all my euphyllia together in one part of the tank. The kiss of death...

I've just got my first pair of clowns and they've been in copper quarantine (Copper Power 2.20-2.4 ppm, measured with Hanna HR Copper Checker) since the 24th of May. I occasionally see the smaller one (darker color, let's call him Steven) twitched like he was having a spasm, and today, I noticed...

I just received this Dussumieri Tang from liveaquaria.com divers-den. And it has this circle on it any thoughts I added the fish into qt and it is eating. Any thoughts?

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...

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...

I'm looking to set up my QT, I have a spare 15g AIO that was given to me figured perfect tank to use for QT. I've read you don't need to cycle a QT tank but have to really be on your game for water changes, how often would I be expected to do water changes if I didn't cycle it? I currently...

Hello all! I recently just tore down my 90 gallon tank and placed every surviving peace of coral in my 55 gallon tank in my other room. I posted a thread earlier on it and everything level-wise looked really well. No swings, levels in check and stable, did an icp test which came back with...

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.

I recently setup a QT tank and my first set of fish will be graduating to the display tank soon. What do people do with the ceramic filter media and plastic filter sponge when the QT tank is not in use? Do people just run the QT tank empty? Or can I put the media and sponge into a bucket and...

Where I live Praziquantel is only available by prescription only. Not as a fish medication - only as a medication for cats, dogs or horses. My vet has found a horse medication which may be suitable for a fish quarantine tank. The things I do to quarantine fish... Nonetheless, this medication...

The LFS in Italy apparently don't believe in keeping captive bred fish and wild caught fish in separate systems. So, if I get seahorses, I'm gonna have to quarantine them. Seahorse expert Pete Giwojna claims hyposalinity at 1.010 - 1.012 SG (13.3 - 16 ppt) is a good treatment for seahorses...

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...

Have had this guy in QT for 3 weeks. From day one it has had this dark spot on its head. Not sure if it has an infection or just dark scales? It has not gotten any smaller or bigger over time. Eating very well and not breathing hard. Should I be trying to treat or does it just have a dark mark?

I have had my cleaner wrasse and 12 green chromis in my QT for about a week and a half. They are all eating well and not breathing heavily. Today I noticed a brown spot on one side of the chromis. It looks like a cut but some forms say it could be Uronema. Also I spotted the cleaner wrasse...

Hi! So I'm researching trying to do a copper QT for new fish moving forward (using copper power). I had a couple questions to get clarifications on, and then after that I'll probably make a post sharing my QT plan, just to run it by some pros on here and check for flaws. 1. Could you go 14...

I've seen some people set up coral quarantine tanks by having the AWC pumps send tank water to a separate tank and having the overflow on this tank go to the drain. I'm curious whether this system could grow corals long-term and be used as a frag tank providing adequate lighting and flow is...

After a hard learned lesson I’m hoping this thread not only helps me but hopefully helps anyone else who may end up in this situation or help others avoid making the same mistakes. Never think you can be the exception and that it won’t happen to you if you skip the proper and NECESSARY steps and...

If a fish has died in a QT from disease, how do I sterilise everything for future use with "Presumed healthy" fish? I'm talking about sterilising biomedia plastic bits from the filter and the seneye Silicone tubing Airstone heater I'm worried about leaving pathogenic bacteria dormant within...

Long story short, I finished quarantining all of the fish that I wanted for my tank and have no use of my quarantine tank anymore. I kinda want to take it down to make more space, but I feel like it's such a waste to take down a tank that's already cycled, but I don't really have any use of it...

Is 11 gallons big enough for a quarantine tank? And how could i quarantine Anthias?
