QT advice, separate or shared

[10000]

Looking for advice on QT tanks. I’m looking to start ordering some live stock while my tank is being built so this question crossed my mind. Are you guys sharing one QT for fish and corals or separating them into their own tanks?

What would be the adequate size for a tang QT? Will a 25Lx23Dx20H be enough? I am also planning to use one of them to grow frags until my DT arrives so I’d appreciate equipment suggestion list for the size I listed. TIA!

If you're medicating or treating the fish at all, then you need to separate the fish from the corals (and inverts, live rocks, etc.) - the treatments for fish will generally kill pretty much everything else.

If you're doing strictly observational QT, then you can keep them all together.

The necessary QT tank size depends on the livestock you're QT'ing, but unless you're getting large fish, that tank should be just fine.


No equipment suggestions from me though - sorry.
