ive been in this hobby over 16 years and ive never used a QT never had any issues what so ever, til a month ago bought some cleaner shrimp and snails and one of them gave my tank marine velvet wiped out all my fish, Now im running a 55G QT with some fish waiting for my fallow period to be over.
I dont really like the extra work and money it takes to run a QT everyone says "you can get a QT running for 20 dollars" but it seems every other day i need more equipment for this thing not to mention all the meds i had to buy to pretreat the fish but i guess its better then losing all your fish to disease. Now im wondering if i should QT inverts too not trying to experience another wipeout like that again
