As the title states, I need help deciding on my approach with my new nano tank
My new tank will have live rock from Tampa Bag Saltwater
I plan on purchasing a pair of clowns from dr reef, although I’m putting them in the DT with ocean rock, which I doubt would cause my fish to become I’ll (anything is possible though in this hobby)
I would like to make this tank a Euphyllia reef, however I know that any introduction into my reef could cause my clowns to become ill to disease.
I wouldn’t want to QT coral for 45 days, I don’t think I’d be able to get coral through that length. I also have 14 gallons total on DT, i would opt for a 5 gallon tank or perhaps 8 gal in a 10 gal breeder if need be
I heard nems only require 16 days and don’t require the alk, cal, or mag to grow, which I think would call for a far simpler display and QT process
TL;DR coral qt to me personally seems risky to frags and a bit challenging maintaining water quality for 45 days (disease prevention). I have some reefing time under my belt but inexperienced in inspecting coral. Would you personally opt for this process, or should I keep it more simple and start with a nem tank ?
