Hi Reef2Reef peeps,

This is my first post in r2r!.... After losing one of my favorite fish (male Lyretail anthias) over the weekend, I'm finally conceding that I should have had a quarantine tank awhile ago. Never really had issues with diseases in any of the DTs I've kept so guess I just didn't see the need.... So, what is the standard setup required for a quarantine tank, equipment, parameters, maintanance, standard therapies needed....?
 
Thanks a lot Kworker. That helps out a lot. My main questions were about the light and what type of filter to use. You addressed both of those topics so I think I'll go ahead with setting one up.
 

WHICH PART OF YOUR SETUP IS HARDEST TO REACH OR REMOVE FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE?
