My Quarantine Strategy for New Wrasse's

[ChadmRoman]

I am finally convinced setting a quarantine tank for new additions will help in the longevity and health of all my fish, but mainly I'm tired of losing wrasse's. I am basically follow @Humblefish and his setup process, but figured I would post to see if anyone has other experiences or suggestions, so here we go...

Here's the setup:

1. 20G Long
2. TIdal 35 HOB filter w/ matrix seeded from DT
3. Power Head
4. Sand and a few pieces of live rubble rock
5. seachem badge
6. some PVC
7. seachem stability

Livestock

1. Yellow Corris
2. blue star leopard
3. Lubbock

Week 1 - Get fish (mainly leopard) eating frozen foods. I purchased live brine to start, and proud to say all fish are eating frozen as of day three. Daily 20% wc to help with Ammonia
Week 2 - 50% wc, Begin R1 Prazi for the next 7 days
Week 3 - 50% wc, add carbon and daily 20% wc for a couple days to remove any additional prazi, start adding copper power
week 4 - get copper power up to therapeutic level of 2.5
weeks 5, 6, 7, 8 - copper (30 days) - potential wc's during this time, will monitor using seachem badge and test kits
week 9 - 50% wc, add carbon to remove remaining copper, start r2 prazi
Week 10 - Prazi for remaining seven days, 50% wc, add carbon, and monitor for remaining week
Week 11 - move to DT if all goes well

Im a fan of the new 36 hour TTM method
2 weeks vs 11 weeks
11 weeks is more than I can deal with. Im not a big fan of copper
