Hi folks,
The DT and QT are currently being built. It's been ten years since I was in the hobby and I lost a few fish to ich back then. Not something I'd care to repeat!
Honestly, I find I'm a little conflicted about quarantining. On one side is the 'I wouldn't ever add anything to my tank without quarantining after'... (insert tank related horror story here) camp. On the other side is the 'I've never quarantined anything and my fish are all breeding/corals growing out the top' camp.
That said, I'm planning on playing it safe. My first two inhabitants will be a pair of Picasso clowns. The qt won't have any denitrifying bacteria so I'm planning on using some ATI Colony. I'm adding an air driven sponge filter. Will I need to add any other media for the bacteria to colonise or is this likely to be enough? I intend to treat with copper.
