Invert Farm (invert only tank)

[steve_mcdonough]

So, since i want to quarantine every thing wet going into my tanks, and since QT inverts are expensive and shipping is expensive, i thought i would fill a small tank with live rock, and a large CUC from on line inverts suppliers. Then feed that tank as a complete invert farm. After 76 days, transfer to my display when needed.

My question is if i have a first shipment of crabs and snails in my farm, and i add a 2nd shipment, would that restart the fallow period on first shippment crew?

Anyone done this? Any pitfalls to be shared?

Yes, since the new inverts could be bringing in disease, the fallow period would need to restart.
