I’ve had my tank running for a little over two months now with my initial fish being two juvenile clowns and a juvenile clown goby. Now I want to add a couple more fish but definitely want to run them through QT first. My question is what’s the standard, or best way to QT new fish. I’ve seen people just keep them in standard water and observe them for a period of time, and people that just automatically QT them in medicated water. What’s the pros and cons of both ways? What do you all recommend for a brand new reefer?
