Hello @AquaSD

I plan on buying inverts with my coral purchase and wondering if you keep fish with your inverts? With QT being such a pain with inverts, was hoping they are help in fishless or resident fish.

Thanks!

Majority of our snails, crabs are from our coral holding systems. We do not add new fish in there, and all the fish we've had in those systems have been with us for years (some 14 years)

We do have an invert system where we keep all our shrimps. Those tanks we have some newer fish that reside there, but very few. We do not stock many fish in that system.

Thanks!

I have been doing the same but upgraded to a 240 and want to limit my chances of introducing something. I QT my fish and buy my corals my Aquasd, dip them, and no issues. But now I need some inverts.
