New tank, will we quarantine ?

Angel_V_the_reefer · Dec 6, 2022

Hello R2R. Currently setting up a nano nuvo 14 pro tank. It will be a BB with 20lbs of live rock from TBS (soon to order)

the question is, should I Qt my fish ? I’ve QT in the past with success on two clowns.

i read a threahere by Paul B, which intrigued me.

i will only add two clowns to my nano.

also, is it worth it o Qt corals ? I believe QT has its place, but I like to think that unless I see a fish/ coral showing unwanted signs of anything bad, they should go straight into the tank

What are the thoughts here ?

Our hobby club was lucky enough to recently have guest speaker Jay Hemdal speak on QT:

Our hobby club was also luck enough to recently have Lee Lawson from School of Fish speak on acclimation, so your comment 'go straight into the tank' likely isn't literally what you mean, but these are some amazing tips:

And as for corals, I’m assuming you would suggest a similar approach
