In my search for second hand equipment for a display refugium, I’ve come across this:

- 20g tank w lights, HOB filter and heater
- 20 pounds of live rock + live sand
- 7 frags of what this guy calls mushrooms but don’t look like mushrooms. Softies for sure
- 1 ocellaris clown
- 1 engineer goby (5 inch)
- “about 5” small hermit crabs

Guy claims to have had the fish over a year. Says a nem died last summer and killed off all other corals and he’s done w the hobby. Been feeding just pellets. Doesn’t seem very knowledgeable.

I plan on purchasing a 2nd clown and a 2nd engineer goby for them to pair up w.

I was just going to go the 30 days observation route until I heard he added the corals 2 weeks ago without dipping them or quarantining in any way.

What would you do before adding to DT?
 
The only QT you can truly trust is your own. Full QT would be my advice. Fallow the tank for 76 days.
