Generally when you make a definitive statement like x cause more harm then y it helps to have something to back up your claim. Otherwise you end up doing what you are doing now. If that article had verifiable statistics then why would it be useless? The new reefer argument doesn’t hold any weight sorry man. You are speaking to one (8 months) and I had zero issues putting 5 fish through qt minus one I lost to uronema but it was already to far gone by the time I medicated it. You also say it seems like common sense that qt it worse than no qt but it’s flat out not. It’s common sense to provide a bio secure tank to hold any new additions so you don’t kill your other pets because of laziness.I don't need sources I've been reefing for a long time. Just speaking from my own observation across years of keeping reefs.
An article about it as a source would be useless right? No source I give is going to make you happy. It just seemed like common sense and reading posts here that most aren't very effective especially with new reefers eh.
Alot of reefers battle their tanks to get them dialed in, a qt isn't any easier depending on the species in it as well. Like I said, the right setup is great..most are not.
Ya a lot of reefers struggle to get their reef tanks dialed in. That’s because it’s a reef tank and not a basic qt setup. The species has zero effect on how hard the tank is to setup. All that changes is the food and medication levels between species and maybe adding a Tupperware of sand for a wrasse or something. I really don’t get why you are trying to make quarantine sound so hard when it’s not. Maybe it is for you but for the majority of people I have seen posting about qt on here it isn’t. It might be for the first go around and learning how to do it at first but that can be said for anything. Please just stop trying to scare people away from qt by making it out to be something it’s not. There are arguments to be had against qt, besides bad tank setups which I don’t see often, but you aren’t making any of them.
