Sellers and QT

[Humblefish]

The fun of this hobby is to keep it simple if you are not comfortable using a qt than I say don't do it. I buy from good resourses and have never had a problem and I dont qt but if I ever got ich I would use the management system @Humblefish can tell you about this method to.

While ich can sometimes be managed by certain species (but not all), I would be more concerned about brook or velvet coming in on an un-QT'd fish. No management protocol exists for either of those diseases, and velvet can wipe out your entire fish population in roughly 72 hrs. And the sad part is just 2 weeks of isolation in a QT would probably save a DT from velvet, as symptoms tend to quickly surface with that disease.

Exotic Reef Creations has quite the extensive QT protocol. It's a 6 week process or so. Definitely check them out, they detail their protocol on their site and they're very responsive to questions. I just got a McCosker's Wrasse from them.

Second vote for ERC, but I dont know what their shipping policy is for Qt fish. Best bet is to send them an email

Definitely send an email or facebook message but from what I understand they ship a majority of their fish.

I spoke with them and they seem to be really good. Going to go this route in the future. Thanks guys
