In the last episode, we explained why we quarantine and walked you through the set-up of your quarantine tank. Today, we continue the topic, covering how to cycle, our do’s and don’ts when adding your fish, diseases to watch out for, nutrients, and finally, transitioning fish into your reef tank.
PRO TIP:
► Quarantine tank light schedule should match your display tank's schedule.
► Feeding live brine helps new arrivals start eating. This also helps finicky eaters start to eat your prepared food.
► Watch your nutrients, but no worries until NO3 is greater than 30ppm. 30ppm = water change.
