QT set up

[Croftsy]

Has anyone got photos and how they set up their QT for dipping corals? As looking to get something when I decide on my corals. Can I use the same tank for when I introduce a new fish (won’t be at the same time fish and coral) times and products used would be great to give me a better idea how to go about it. Do people QT there cuc too

As I often tell others, you can keep it basic. Often a starter set up from Walmart has the essentials and is sufficient. Try to obtain a piece of seeded foam or sponge to place in the filter or path of water. A second hand tank from thrift store also suffices.
For CUC and coral, you really dont want to utilize your display tank as quarantine but rather a separate treatment tank which requires less medication amount, gives you an up close of fish and easier on water changes and catching fish to return to display tank once treated/cured.
