New Tank Mates = Death?

I just quarantine for 90 days. I dont treat if there aren’t any symptoms. I start my QT salinity at approximately 1.022. Then by day 15 will be hypo salinity to 1.013-1.014 for 60 days, then for the last 15 I slowly raise it to 1.025. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD FOR YOUR INVERTS. IT WILL KILL MOST OF THEM IF NOT ALL. Inverts keep them at 1.025. But QT all new animals regardless of wher you purchase them. Some folks dont know they have a problem unless their fish becomes stressed.
