Introducing Multiple Pre-Quarantined Fish to Semi-Established 180g

[Fish.Bum00]

I transferred most of my rocks and sand from my 75g that had been up and running for a little over a year into my new 180g. And added my 2 clowns, YWG, and Foxface, along with some other inverts from my old tank to the new tank about a month ago.

myDT, sump and refugium minus rock and sand is around 220g.

All seems to be going well. The new dry rock, soaked for about 3 months prior, is not white at all anymore. Numbers are good.

I’m looking for advice. I’m planning to order some pre-QT fish from the short list of vendors. Quarantined fish shipped to my door is not cheap. Id like to order 6 chromis, Midas Blenny, Coral Beauty, and a wrasse (TBD) all at once.

Should I just keep them in holding tanks and introduce in an acclimation box weekly, bi weekly? Can I put the chromis in right away, then put the other in holding tanks?

I would add all of them together and have done so on countless occasions in my systems, if your happy they are QT’d if thats what your doing.

I personally don’t QT but that’s a personal preference

If the reason is your worried about the bioload, provided it’s all cycled you will be fine.

Are your old fish QTed? I don't think there is a point of buying QTed fish to put into a non fully QTed system?

All old fish have been through full QT, and have been happy and healthy.
