I recently added my first livestock to my display. No quarantine was done. Livestock was a bonded pair of Gladiator/ DeVinci clowns. A beautiful and healthy pair I might add. They came from Sustainable Aquatics and were guaranteed disease free straight from the hatchery. I'd like to keep things this way. Yes, I took a chance and all other livestock will go through a full prophylactic quarantine. I bought a 20 gallon long, aquaclear 50, heater, power head, bubbler, ammonia badge and a 9 inch Wave Point Blade HO LED. "For quarantining corals later on" Meds bought so far are copper power and general cure. Next purchase will be a Hanna high range Copper checker and some biospira. The quarantine will be over 10ft away from DT. Nothing will be shared with main system until after the quarantine process is over and it's thoroughly sterilized and dried for a few days. Everything used will stay dedicated for quarantine use during this timeframe. I've read about aerosol transmission and was wondering if make up water for water changes should be stored away from the quarantine? And also items like hoses and nets? I would like to have my brute next to the tank ready to go with lid on it. It's on a dolly so it could easily be wheeled elsewhere. Or should I keep it in a separate room and only bring it next to the quarantine when a water change is needed? Like after finishing meds and such. I guess if the 10ft rule is followed then anytime you used anything for quarantine it would have to be stored and sanitized at least 10 feet away. Maybe I'm being overly cautious and thinking into it too much. Any thoughts or opinions from anyone on this would be great
