QT Inverts?

[thatsimplereefing]

So I have a question. I’m starting up a local business soon and am getting in inverts from a wholesaler. I need to know if I need to QT them since it’s from a wholesaler. And if I do, what should I do? Thank you.

You can but not necessary. Some are known to carry parasites so perhaps not a bad idea

I’d like to do it then. Any methods to do so? Thank you.

My best advice is to keep inverts and coral in their own system with no fish. That way even if a parasite is introduced theyll starve out.

Awesome, how long

If youre trying to run a fish store that sells them, then keep them seperate indefinitely. That way if you ever need to treat the fish systems you dont have to worry about relocating the inverts and cross contaminating the systems.

Not running a store just working on a home project right now but was going to keep them in a tank with fish. Testing out something but didn’t know how to make sure the inverts were safe to put with the fish if I didn’t QT them

I think you need to do a full fallow period for proper QT of inverts.

How long whisk you suggest?

76 days.

Ok it sounded like you were setting up a store since you were getting wholesale. Like cell said the best way is just a fallow period for 76 days for inverts to gaurentee no fish parasites make it to the tank.
