So apparently BRS sells rapid fish quarantine stuff… anyone ever used it? What’s your experience vs old traditional way like copper and some other combos…. And QT for like a month… any feed backs are appreciated

Even BRS says a full quarantine is best. This product is better than not doing anything, but it is second to a proper quarantine. I would not use it on directly shipped fish - acclimate the fish to a holding tank for a few days first.
About 20 years ago I developed a triage method for new fish which was essentially identical to this process (formalin dip followed by methylene blue). I then would run a full quarantine on the fish. I soon stopped the triage portion because it was killing to many shipped fish, they just couldn’t tolerate the formalin.
