QT Question

[Steve Maxwell]

So what's the general consensus on QTing fish such as lawnmower blennies & watchman gobies? I have my DT running fallow due to a possible Velvet issue. I have my Kole Tang, Photon clown, & McCosker's in QT undergoing treatment. I also had a watchman goby in there as well, but I woke up today and he was dead. I had a large container of sand in ther for him, but obviously it didn't matter

Never had a problem. My watchman has been in qt conditions three times now. First round on purchase. Second when dt broke and all fish went into qt set up to wait for new tank and third is now going fallow to clean out dt of any parasites.

I prefer TTM for smaller fish: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/tank-transfer-method.192655/

I haven't had an issue keeping either fish in a copper system (coppersafe) at the store. I also prefer TTM for any fish, but if your dealing with velvet then that wont help much.
