Poll. Do you quarantine your fish and corals?
I wanted to name drop https://notafeesh.com for those who want qt of fish or corals for them.
If you want to do yourself these are great protocols. I do not recommend most use formalin. It is not for beginners and is dangerous. https://notafeesh.com/blogs/blog/how-we-quarantine-fish
They are suppppper helpful and informative. But the quarantine procedures can save all the tank mates both your existing fish or new fish. And corals.
If you have questions I can help or get you the answers.
So poll. Do you qt fish? Corals? Inverts?
Update I removed the corals from the rocks and will prepare to do a hydrogen peroxide dip tomorrow
Anyone here that has experience with QT?
Started cycling my Hello Reef last week, and today I saw my first signs of nitrite!
I’ve been ghost-feeding consistently since day one, and the bacteria are finally kicking in.
I’m thinking about starting to quarantine a few members of the clean-up crew soon.
What do you guys recommend, should I wait a bit longer or start prepping the QT now?
Quarantineing the Tangs before I move them to the new tank. Inplant to add a few new fish before these guy get in there. So this way the new fish have time to establish them selves while the tang gang takes a break.
Great news.. About 3 weeks ago or so. I posted about my Xenia being almost demolished by my urchin and my scrubbing of the GHA. I put it in a little quarantine tank I built. Just took the last 2 pictures today. And the arms are really extended. Looks like it's doing good. Might be making a comeback..🙂
My pom-pom Xenia has been through a lot of havoc. I had a long fight with green hair algae which is gone now. But also I allowed my tuxedo urchin to go over the beautiful Xenia colony I had. And it ripped a lot of it off. This is the only survivor. So I made a little quarantine tank. Trying to get my Xenia to come back. I do see that its little arms are beginning to extend. My lesson: don't let the urchin get on the Xenia corals. Hope this little guy comes back.
